Each chapter gives an in-depth account of theoretical concepts, issues and debates which define a field within translation studies.

"This excellent critical companion will be welcomed by students and established scholars alikeOrganised thematically, it presents different strands and schools of thought in the context of their contributions to particular shared concerns, thus offering an ideal springboard for further reading in both translation studies and neighbouring disciplines."

The strength of the book is thoughtful, well-researched and carefully documented. Anyone who is interested in translation studies and relevant discipline will find beneficial to read it.
