Description

Thresholds of Translation explores the role of paratexts in the early age of print in Britain between 1473 and 1660. This volume examines how translation shaped English and Scottish literary culture through the use of liminal devices. By revisiting Genette's definition of paratexts as thresholds of interpretation, the text analyzes how translators and printers used these spaces to advertise their work and display social or ideological affiliations. This academic study provides insight into how these devices influenced literary tastes and helped fashion representations of the cultural other during a period of significant change in the printed book.
