Course Description

Studies and practices the art of translation. Explores classic essays that have formed the foundation of translation theory and examines them in practice by comparing multiple translations of a text. Students will have the opportunity to apply these theories as they attempt to translate a short work of fiction or poetry they may share with the class in a workshop format. Students may work from any language into contemporary English; the language can also be a dialect, or historical variety, of English. If a student has fulfilled Drew's language requirement (a language through the intermediate level), then they are eligible to take this course.
