Summary: | This volume revisits Genette's definition of the printed book's liminal devices, or paratexts, as 'thresholds of interpretation' by focussing specifically on translations produced in Britain in the early age of print (1473-1660). At a time when translation played a major role in shaping English and Scottish literary culture, paratexts afforded translators and their printers a privileged space in which to advertise their activities, display their social and ideological affiliations, influence literary tastes, and fashion Britain's representations of the cultural 'other'. |
