John Deathridge (Penguin, 2018) in the group Translation Studies https://hcommons.org/activity/p/1732768/ Fri, 26 Mar 2021 02:23:41 -0400 The task of the literary translator is usually framed around the notion of ‘fidelity’ to the source text. Whatever the translator is trying to be faithful to (which is another question), any betrayal of the original, according to this logic, is deemed a failure.
