Tropes of Translation in Medieval European Fictions
Simone Marchesi
December 2024 316pp

Presents the representation of gardens in medieval fictions as a lens to understand the theories and practices of translation from Latin to the vernaculars. The book argues that the prominent narrative space that works composed in Old French, Italian, and Middle English give to garden-visit scenes is connected to their vindication of translation as an always-enriching practice.
