Special Presentation: Translating Across Time: Rendering 17th- and 18th-century texts for 21st-century readers
April 3, 2024
3:00 PM - 5:00 PM
Presented by: Sarah Nelson, University of Idaho
Using two quite different French texts—a noblewoman’s 17th-century life writing and the well- known 18th-century Philosophy in the Boudoir by the Marquis de Sade—this presentation will explore the problems with which a translator must contend in order to make these texts readable for a 21st-century audience.
