Translation and the classic / edited by Paul F. Bandia, James Hadley, Siobhán McElduff.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

"Through an exciting range of accessible and innovative papers dealing with a range of genres, authors, and periods this volume seeks to fill that gap by examining the complex relationship between translation and the classic, and how translation makes and remakes (and sometimes invents) classic works for new audiences across space and time. Translation and the Classic is the first volume in a two volume series examining how classic works fare in translation, how translation is different when it engages with classic texts, and how classic texts can be shaped, understood in new ways, or even created through the process of translation. Although other collections have covered some of this territory, they have done so in partial ways or with a focus on Greek, Roman, and Arabic translations or originals.
