Kafka translated: how translators have shaped our reading of Kafka

Trama

What effect do the translations have on how we read Kafka? Are our interpretations of Kafka influenced by the translators' interpretations? Michelle Woods investigates issues central to the burgeoning field of translation studies: the notion of cultural untranslatability; the centrality of female translators in literary history; and the under-representation of the influence of the translator as interpreter of literary texts.
