Gifting translation in early modern England : women writers and the politics of authorship
Inglis, Kirsten
Translation was a critical mode of discourse for early modern writers. 'Gifting Translation in Early Modern England: Women Writers and the Politics of Authorship' examines the intersection of ...translation and the culture of gift-giving in early modern England, arguing that this intersection allowed women to subvert dominant modes of discourse through acts of linguistic and inter-semiotic translation and conventions of gifting. The book considers four early modern translators: Mary Bassett, Jane Lumley, Jane Seager, and Esther Inglis. These women negotiate the rhetorics of translation and gift-culture in order to articulate political and religious affiliations and beliefs in their carefully crafted manuscript gift-books. This book offers a critical lens through which to read early modern translations in relation to the materiality of early modern gift culture.
