The fifth edition of this bestselling Reader has been substantially revised and updated. The introductory essays prefacing each section place a wide range of seminal and innovative readings within their various contexts: thematic and cultural, institutional and historical. Notable features include:

• New readings that sketch the history of Arabic translation from antiquity to the twentieth century
• New readings that sample key trends in translation research since 2000, including incisive commentary on topics of current debate in the field such as world literature, migration, and translingualism; the transmission of knowledge; and translation and AI
• A conceptual organization that illuminates the main models of translation theory and practice, as well as the main topics in research

This carefully curated selection of key works, by leading scholar and translation theorist Lawrence Venuti, is essential reading for students and scholars on courses such as the History of Translation Studies, Translation Theory, and Trends in Translation Studies.
