Summary

Literary Translation Hubs explores how specific cities and regions have become vital centers in the global exchange of literature through translation. These "translation hubs" are not just passive conduits but active shapers of meaning, influencing how major literary works are received and integrated into different cultures. The book examines the historical, cultural, and socio-political factors that have allowed certain locales to become pivotal in shaping the global flow of literature, impacting the globalization of literature and literary history.

 
The book traces the evolution of translation from antiquity to the present, analyzing how shifts in political power, technological advancements, and migration patterns influenced the emergence of these hubs. For instance, the book will delve into specific case studies such as Renaissance Florence or 19th-century Paris, exploring the unique conditions, like skilled translators and supportive institutions, that led to their prominence. This approach provides a deeper understanding of how literature is mediated and interpreted across diverse cultural contexts.

 
Structured with a comprehensive overview, the book first defines "translation hubs" and then delves into detailed case studies. Drawing from archival research, literary analysis, and historical documents, the book examines how specific translation choices reflect the cultural and political values of the hub in which they were produced.

 
Ultimately, the book discusses the implications of translation hubs for understanding world literature and debates surrounding linguistic and cultural exchange, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in language arts, history, cultural studies, and the intricate interplay between language, culture, and power.

    Where de yea belang?brings together the distinctive vocabulary of the North East dialect.
"Abackabeyont, bait-poke, cracket, drucken, etten, fettle, guissie pigs, lonnin, marra, nyen, plote, queen-cat, reckling, skinch, tew, upcast, vine, willok, yem, zookers!" If you enjoy finding out about dialect words – how and where and when they were used – and where they came from – this is the best guide to help you explore the world of North East dialect.
Until the 20th century, dialect was a marker of economic, social and cultural change. We know that the North East maritime connections with the Dutch led to the introduction of many 'new' words. The Scottish influence of the keelmen (fisherman) on the Tyne and their effect on local language was much more radical.  Although the Tyneside dialect and identity and this way of speaking is fast waning, the popularity of discovering this language and dialect shows there is still a great interest in the languages and dialect of the past.


The late Bill Griffiths (1948–2007)was an extraordinary writer and poet: radical, experimental and scholarly, but also had a great sense of humour. He was a wonderful champion of the North East, its people and heritage.
Born in Middlesex, he read history before graduating in 1969. Bill ran his own independent press and published political pamphlets and essays on the arts and poetry. After gaining a PhD in Old English he fled London and settled in Seaham where he embraced the northern way of life.
'He was also a scholar of Old English and dialect who know how to make his work accessible. Private and uncompetitive, he was at least these things: poet, archivist, scholar, translator, prison-rights campaigner, pianist, historian, curator, performer, editor, short-story writer, essayist, teacher, book-maker and lyricist. The Saturday before he died, Bill discharged himself from hospital to host the Dialect Day at the Morden Tower in Newcastle upon Tyne. He died as he lived: cataloguing, awarding Best Dialect prizes, opera on his radio, the poetry paramount.' Obituary, The Independent, 20 September 2007.
