Description

Language in Motion seeks to explore problems of translation, multilingualism and cultural identity, issues that are at the heart of critical theory, literary studies and comparative literature. It takes an expansive view of premodern literary cultures, with papers ranging from medieval Latin Europe, medieval Arabic and Hebrew writing on language, twelfth-century Japan, early modern South Asian Persian-Urdu interface, and medieval Romance vernacularity.
