Reihe: Translation, Interpreting and Transfer

Groundbreaking
study connecting textual and contextual approaches

For many of us, our earliest and most meaningful
experiences with literature occur through the medium of a translated children’s
book. This volume focuses on the complex interplay that happens between text
and context when works of children’s literature are translated. What contexts
of production and reception account for how translated children’s books come to
be made and read as they are? How are translated children’s books adapted to
suit the context of a new culture? Spanning the disciplines of Children’s
Literature Studies and Translation Studies, this book brings together
established and emerging voices to provide an overview of the analytical,
empirical and geographic richness of current research in this field and to
identify and reflect on common insights, analytical perspectives and
trajectories for future interdisciplinary research.

This volume will
appeal to an interdisciplinary audience of scholars and students in Translation
Studies and Children’s Literature Studies and related disciplines. It has a broad geographic and cultural scope,
with contributions dealing with translated children’s literature in the United
Kingdom, the United States, Israel, Ireland, Spain, France, Brazil, Poland, Slovenia,
Hungary, China, the former Yugoslavia, Sweden, Germany, and Belgium.
