520    These essays offer insights into the understanding and 
       craft of translation. The contributors not only describe 
       the complexity of translating literature but also suggest 
       the implications of the act of translation for critics, 
       scholars, teachers, and students. The demands of 
       translation, according to these writers, require both 
       comprehensive scholarship in preparing to translate a text
       and broad creativity in recreating the text in a new 
       language. Translation, thus, becomes a model for the most 
       exacting reading and the most serious scholarship. Some of
       the contributors lay bare the rigorous methods of literary
       translation in comparisons of various translations of the 
       same piece some discuss the problems of translating a 
       specific passage others speak about the lessons learned 
       over the course of a career in translation. As these 
       essays make clear, translators work in the space between 
       languages and, in so doing, provide insights into the ways
       in which a culture makes the world verbal. --From
