Reviews

'Historically translation has played a pivotal role in the circulation and dissemination of Persian literature, yet the processes and practices of translation have never been the subject of such a comprehensive and systematic study. The Routledge Handbook of Persian Literary Translation breaks new ground by bringing together enriching and insightful analyses that illuminate the history and the array of practices that deepen our understanding of Persian literature in translation. The editors, Pouneh Shabani-Jadidi, Michelle Quay, and Patricia J. Higgins,and their contributors, have rendered an extraordinary service to scholars, students, and translators of Persian which will have a lasting impact on the study of Persian, World Literature, and Translation Studies.'' Nasrin Rahimieh, Howard Baskerville Professor of Humanities, UC Irvine
