TRANSLATING WAR - ANGELA KERSHAW GEBUNDEN

This book examines the role played by the international circulation of literature in
constructing cultural memories of the Second World War. War writing has rarely been read from
the point of view of translation even though war is by definition a multilingual event  and
knowledge of the Second World War and the Holocaust is mediated through translated texts. Here
the author opens up this field of research through analysis of several important works of
French war fiction and their English translations. The book examines the wartime publishing
structures which facilitated literary exchanges across national borders  the strategies adopted
by translators of war fiction  the relationships between translated war fiction and dominant
national memories of the war  and questions of multilingualism in war writing. In doing so  it
sheds new light on the political and ethical questions that arise when the trauma of war is
represented in fiction and through translation. This engaging work will appeal to students and
scholars of translation  cultural memory  war fiction and Holocaust writing.
