Reviews

"As the editors point out in their introduction, translation is crucial to early modernity in particular, and early modern translation is ill-understood. With this timely topic, the book will make a powerful contribution to the field."—Karla Mallette, University of Michigan

"A strong collection that opens any number of important conversations."—Jonathan Goldberg, Emory University
