I am pleased to announce the publication of my new book, Reinventing Babel in Medieval French: Translation and Untranslatability (c. 1120-c. 1250), in the Oxford Studies in Medieval Literature and Culture Series.
The book explores how approaching questions of translatability and untranslatability through premodern texts and languages can inform broader interdisciplinary conversations about translation as a concept and a practice. Working with case studies drawn from the francophone cultures of Flanders, England, and northern France, it explores how medieval texts challenge modern definitions of language, text, and translation and, in so doing, how such texts can open sites of variance and non-identity within what later became the hegemonic global languages we know today.
