Shared readings include The Lyric Theory Reader: A Critical Anthology, edited by Virginia Jackson and Yopie Prins.

This course has several interrelated but distinct missions. First, we read selected major works from the history of attempts to theorize literary translation. Second, we read an array of contemporary examples of research on the translation of literature. Third, we also speak with a range of visitors about the production, publication, and dissemination of translations. And fourth, students have an option of drafting a research article or undertaking a major translation project. Graduate students from a range of disciplines are welcome; those pursuing the Secondary Field in Translation Studies (for which this class is a capstone requirement) will receive priority. Undergraduates interested in the course should contact me to explain their reasons; seats will be allocated as available.
