Advanced Practicum in Literary Translation

Readings in theory of translation, and in monuments of literary translation from Renaissance times to the present, will be assigned to students needing further background in these areas. Students will each complete two projects: (1) by mid-semester, a critical treatment of a published translation or a comparison of such translations; (2) for the final seminar presentation and paper, the student's own translation into English from some literary text in a language familiar to the student.
