A literary scholar who is an adult adoptee delves into one of the enduring themes of literature - the child raised by other parents. "Reading Adoption" artfully combines memoir with literary and feminist scholarship, shedding new light on familiar texts. Engagingly written from Marianne Novy's dual perspectives as critic and adult adoptee, the book explores the ways in which novels and plays portray adoption through careful readings of works by authors from Sophocles to Barbara Kingsolver.

L'objet ironique, tel Protée, ne cesse de se métamorphoser pour se refuser à répondre précisément de sa propre nature. C'est que l'ironie est à la fois objet et méthode d'appréhension, posture critique, distance et soupçon, acte d'énonciation, processus sémantique créatif, pratique existentielle ou encore, entre autres, exercice philosophique qui joue l'aventure du sens " entre centre et absence ". Mode d'actualisation de l'art et de la pensée, l'ironie ne cesse de se (re) définir à travers les âges et les courants littéraires. Le présent ouvrage propose une approche transhistorique, transgénérique et transdisciplinaire de la notion, où sont appréhendés différents terrains épistémologiques et esthétiques, privilégiant cependant une étude des liens du procès linguistique et du projet poétique. S'y développe une interrogation relative aux possibles relations, continuités éventuelles, divergences voire oppositions entre les domaines, à partir des notions de dualité et de duplicité, qu'elles portent sur l'ethos de l'ironiste ou sur le double sens qu'implique l'ironie.

Arising from a dissatisfaction with blandly general or abstrusely theoretical approaches to translation, this book sets out to show, through detailed and lively analysis, what it really means to translate literary style. Combining linguistic and lit crit approaches, it proceeds through a series of interconnected chapters to analyse translations of the works of D.H. Lawrence, Virginia Woolf, James Joyce, Samuel Beckett, Henry Green and Barbara Pym. Each chapter thus becomes an illuminating critical essay on the author concerned, showing how divergences between original and translation tend to be of a different kind for each author depending on the nature of his or her inspiration. This new and thoroughly revised edition introduces a system of 'back translation' that now makes Tim Parks' highly-praised book reader friendly even for those with little or no Italian. An entirely new final chapter considers the profound effects that globalization and the search for an immediate international readership is having on both literary translation and literature itself.
