Dear colleagues,
We are delighted to announce a series of five lectures taking place at
University College London during Term 2, January -March 2013.
Translation in History UCL Lecture Series
Each of our distinguished guest speakers will explore the role of key
figures and movements in specific historical contexts, including
Classical translation, the ?Toledo School? of translators, Early
Modern translation, Dryden?s translation practice, and the German
Romantic tradition. The series therefore provides a chronological and
multidisciplinary examination of the historical development of the
theory and practice of translation, of interest to students of
translation, language and literature in a variety of disciplines.
Further details of the speakers and lectures are available on our
website: http://www.ucl.ac.uk/cics/translation-in-history
All events take place from 6 to 7.30 pm at the Christopher Ingold XLG2
Auditorium, 20 Gordon Street, London WC1H 0AJ. Supported by the UCL
Faculty Institute of Graduate Studies.
Events are free and open to all. Booking is recommended, see
