Metatranslation: Essays on Translation and Translation Studies

Metatranslation presents a selection of thirteen key essays by leading theorist, Theo Hermans, covering a span of forty years. The essays both trace Hermans’ work and demonstrate how translation studies has evolved from the 1980s into the much more diverse and self-reflexive discipline it is today.

Theo Hermans is Emeritus Professor in the Centre for Translation Studies at University College London (UCL). His monographs include Translation in Systems (1999; reissued as a Routledge Translation classic in 2020), The Conference of the Tongues (2007) and Translation and History (2022).
