Media Reviews

'Susan Bassnett, a pioneer in Translation Studies, eloquently defines the relationship between Translation Studies and World Literature as rocky . This timely book, that could not be edited by a better qualified scholar, examines this relationship with a rich and varied range of contributions. A milestone for future discussions.' Siri Nergaard, University of Bologna, Italy
