“Leaping forward into emotion, these essays evoke the formidable effects of translation in performance. The often lyrical contributions tap into the drama of theatre, at the same time proposing new rhythms of exploration in translation scholarship. This is a beautiful collection, a fitting tribute to the esteemed theatre translator, David Johnston.” – Sherry Simon, Concordia University, Montreal, Canada; author or Translation sites (Routledge 2019) “Rarely does academic writing about translation send a shiver down the spine. These essays, inspired by David Johnston’s ‘writing forward’, sing with true duende as they probe the complex process of translating the past for a present that has the life of single and singular performances.” – Peter Bush, literary translator, Bristol, UK; recent translation: The Lily in the Valley by Honoré de Balzac
