Translation and Geography investigates Western spatial imaginations, in particular those constructed by literary works, and their translations across languages, media and epochs. Ground-breaking in its approach and relevant across a range of disciplines from geography and history to comparative literature and translation studies, this book makes a compelling case for a form of cultural translation that reframes the contributions of language-based translation analysis. Drawing on case studies and readings ranging from the Latin of the Middle Ages to twentieth-century Latin American poetry, this is key reading for translation theory and comparative/world literature courses.
