Rezensionen

"Hawkins steps forward as both an exceptionally competent practitioner and a formidable theorist to offer many crucial insights and well-informed suggestions concerning the invisibly intrusive task of the translator."

- John Hamilton, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States

"[The book] deconstructs the longstanding obscurity surrounding this interdisciplinary entanglement."

- David Charlston, University of Liverpool
