Tudor Translation Conference
Newcastle University, UK
9-10 July 2009
This interdisciplinary conference seeks to highlight the intrinsic interest of Tudor translation by showing how translations of the period did not simply reproduce the meaning of their sources but recreated their sense in response to the specific historical contexts in which they were produced. After having been relatively neglected for decades, interest in Tudor translation is currently undergoing a major revival. The conference aims to bring together many of the people involved in this resurgence of interest to take stock of what has been achieved and to explore future directions for research in this area. Speakers: Joyce Boro (Montréal), Warren Boutcher (Queen Mary), Gordon Braden (Virginia), Robert Cummings (Glasgow), Sarah Dewar-Watson (Cambridge), Andrew Hadfield (Sussex), Brenda Hosington (Warwick), Helen Moore (Oxford), Massimiliano Morini (Udine), Andrew Taylor (Cambridge).
