Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: This book investigates the English translations of Shen Congwenâs stories. Shen Congwen (1902-1988) is one of the most acclaimed writers in modern Chinese literature. His works have been translated into more than ten languages and his 44 stories count with 70 different English translations. Adopting a case study method within the framework of Descriptive Translation Studies, the author selects and compares the most translated stories, those with three or more translations, totalling fifteen translations from four stories. The analysis of the texts focuses on Shenâs narrative style - his narrative commentaries and his lyrical narrative mode - to see how his style was re-presented in translation. In addition, the translatorsâ overt narrative intrusions - their added notes - are also examined.
Further, on the basis of Bourdieuâs sociological concepts, especially habitus, this study makes an attempt to interpret the different strategies adopted by different translators, including scholar/non-scholar translators, L1/L2 translators, and translators of the 1930s and 40s and those of the 1980s onwards.
