Description

Explore the complex world of early modern print culture with Thresholds of Translation. This academic volume examines how paratexts functioned as thresholds of interpretation during a transformative era in British history. Covering the years 1473 to 1660, the study focuses on how translations shaped English and Scottish literary landscapes. During this period, the printed book became a primary tool for cultural exchange. This book analyzes how translators and printers used paratextual devices to advertise their work, signal social and ideological affiliations, and influence the literary tastes of the time. It provides a detailed look at how these print elements helped fashion representations of the cultural 'other' in Britain. Ideal for students and scholars of history and literature, this work offers a deep look into the mechanics of the early age of print. It revisits Genette's definitions to provide a fresh perspective on how liminal devices within books influenced the way readers understood translated texts in early modern Britain.
