Free Download Carmine G. Di Biase, "Travel and Translation in the Early Modern Period"
English | 2006 | pages: 291 | ISBN: 9042017686 | PDF | 0,9 mb
The relationship between travel and translation might seem obvious at first, but to study it in earnest is to discover that it is at once intriguing and elusive. Of course, travelers translate in order to make sense of their new surroundings; sometimes they must translate in order to put food on the table. The relationship between these two human compulsions, however, goes much deeper than this. What gets translated, it seems, is not merely the written or the spoken word, but the very identity of the traveler. These seventeen essays-which treat not only such well-known figures as Martin Luther, Erasmus, Shakespeare, and Milton, but also such lesser known figures as Konrad Grünemberg, Leo Africanus, and Garcilaso de la Vega-constitute the first survey of how this relationship manifests itself in the early modern period. As such, it should be of interest both to scholars who are studying theories of translation and to those who are studying "hodoeporics", or travel and the literature of travel.

Free Download Dr. James Reichert, "Literature for the Masses: Japanese Period Fiction, 1913-1941"
English | ISBN: 082489801X | 2025 | 354 pages | PDF | 3 MB
Literature for the Masses is the first English-language book on popular stories known in Japan alternatively as period fiction or mass literature. It highlights the important cultural and ideological work performed by this ubiquitous, yet overlooked, literary form. Focused on the years 1913 to 1941, which coincide exactly with the rise of industrial capitalism and mass culture in Japan, the book challenges the conventional wisdom that period-themed entertainment was an anachronistic holdover from the past. Through a close analysis of well-known examples of the genre, such as Nakazato Kaizan’s The Great Buddha Pass (1913-1921), Yoshikawa Eiji’s Miyamoto Musashi (1935-1939), and Mikami Otokichi’s The Transformation of Yukinojō (1934-1935), Reichert shows how these materials were thoroughly integrated into both the modern media ecosystem and the creative sphere of the written arts.
