Book excerpt: Excerpt from Four Lectures on the Contrasts of Ancient and Modern History: Delivered at the Manchester Athenaeum, Michaelmas 1846 I am to Speak of the contrasts of Ancient and Mo dern History; and the very expressions need prelimi nary remark. Some nations may seem to be in nearly the same state in ancient and in modern times; as the roving Arabs and Tartars: perhaps even the in habitants of China and its neighbouring Archipelago. All such peoples are tacitly excluded from this dis cussion: roving tribes, because they have no history, or none worth the name; the Chinese nations, be cause their culture has for ages become stationary, and as we have no record'of their earlier times, we cannot detect such contrasts as may really exist be tween their present and former state. By Modern, therefore, I chiefly mean Christian History; yet not so exclusively as to omit all mention of the Mohammedans. They too have their strong points of contrast to the ancient military monarchies, and will be remarked upon in their place. But the history of the Moslem or Mussulman nations is ex: tremely monotonous. One form of government only, - military despotism, - has arisen among them; and owing to this meagreness, there is less to say about them. The Mohammedan empires, as in chronology they more properly belong to the Middle Age, so in their actual development appear to be midway between their prototypes in the ancient and their representa tives in the modern Christian world.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Four Lectures on the Contrasts of Ancient and Modern History: Delivered at the Manchester Athenæum, Michaelmas 1846 The whole interest of History depends upon the eternal likeness of human nature to itself, and on the similarities or analogies which we in consequence perpetually discover between that which has been and that which is. Were it otherwise, all the narratives of the past would be an enigma to our understandings; for we should be without that sympathy which kindles imagination and gives us insight: nor would the experience of the ancient world afford any instruction or warning to him who is trying to anticipate futurity. With good reason therefore, the greater stress is ordinarily laid on this side of the question, - the similarities to be detected between the past and the present.

Book Synopsis The Translator's Invisibility by : Lawrence Venuti
Download or read book The Translator's Invisibility written by Lawrence Venuti and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-06-25 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since publication over ten years ago, The Translator’s Invisibility has provoked debate and controversy within the field of translation and become a classic text. Providing a fascinating account of the history of translation from the seventeenth century to the present day, Venuti shows how fluency prevailed over other translation strategies to shape the canon of foreign literatures in English and investigates the cultural consequences of the receptor values which were simultaneously inscribed and masked in foreign texts during this period. The author locates alternative translation theories and practices in British, American and European cultures which aim to communicate linguistic and cultural differences instead of removing them. In this second edition of his work, Venuti: clarifies and further develops key terms and arguments responds to critical commentary on his argument incorporates new case studies that include: an eighteenth century translation of a French novel by a working class woman; Richard Burton's controversial translation of the Arabian Nights; modernist poetry translation; translations of Dostoevsky by the bestselling translators Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky; and translated crime fiction updates data on the current state of translation, including publishing statistics and translators’ rates. The Translator’s Invisibility will be essential reading for students of translation studies at all levels. Lawrence Venuti is Professor of English at Temple University, Philadelphia. He is a translation theorist and historian as well as a translator and his recent publications include: The Scandals of Translation: Towards an Ethics of Difference and The Translation Studies Reader, both published by Routledge.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This innovative volume explores a wide range of artistic, critical, and cultural productions by women scholars, critics, and artists between 1790 and 1900, many of whom are little known.
