Research on women translators has often focused on early modern England; the example of early modern England has been taken as the norm for the rest of the continent and has shaped research on gender and translation more generally. This book brings a new European perspective to the field by introducing the case of Germany. It draws attention to forty women who can be identified as translators in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Germany and shows how their work does not fit easily into traditional narratives about marginalization and subversiveness. The study uses the example of Germany to argue against reading the work of translating women primarily through the lens of gender and to challenge claims about the existence of a female\u003cbr\u003etranslation tradition which transcends the boundaries of time and place. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBroadening our perspective to include Germany provides a more nuanced and informed account of the position of women within European translation cultures and forces us to rethink gender as a category of analysis in translation history. The book makes the case for a new 'woman-interrogated' approach to translation history (to borrow a concept from Carol Maier) and as such it will provide a blueprint for future work in the area.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHilary Brown, \u003cem\u003eSenior Lecturer in Translation Studies, University of Birmingham\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHilary Brown is Senior Lecturer in Translation Studies at the University of Birmingham.
