Description

Explore the complex relationship between ideology and language in Gaby Thomson-Wohlgemuth's research. This book examines how the socialist regime of the former German Democratic Republic influenced the English-to-German translation of children's literature. By focusing on extra-textual factors, the study provides a detailed look at the East German censorship machinery and how it shaped literary culture. Readers will find a deep investigation into the connection between state-propagated socialist ideology and the specific process of book selection. The author utilizes a thorough analysis of print permit files and afterwords found within many books to reconstruct how censorship functioned in practice. This work is an essential resource for those interested in the history of language study, translation theory, and the cultural history of the GDR.
