Yet rarely do they experience such work in the original Spanish or Portuguese. Elizabeth Lowe and Earl Fitz argue that the role of the translator is an essential&#8211;and an often ignored&#8211;part of the reception process among English-language readers.<\/p>\n<p>Both accomplished translators in their own right, Lowe and Fitz explain how stylistic and linguistic choices made by the translator can have a profound effect on how literary works are perceived by readers unfamiliar with a foreign language. They also point out ways in which the act of translation is critical to the discipline of comparative literature.<\/p>\n<p>Touching on issues of language, culture, and national identity,   <em>Translation and the Rise of Inter-American Literature<\/em> is one of the first book-length works in this newly emerging field. Combining theories and histories of literature, translation, reception, and cultural studies, it offers a broad comparative perspective rarely found in traditional scholarship.\u00a0 \u00a9 1998-2001 Amazon.com, Inc. und Tochtergesellschaften<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/rcm.amazon.com\/e\/cm?lt1=_blank&amp;bc1=000000&amp;IS2=1&amp;bg1=FFFFFF&amp;fc1=000000&amp;lc1=0000FF&amp;t=interassocofi-20&amp;o=1&amp;p=8&amp;l=as1&amp;m=amazon&amp;f=ifr&amp;md=10FE9736YVPPT7A0FBG2&amp;asins=0813034345\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Buy at Amazon.com<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.de\/gp\/product\/0813034345?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=interassocofi-21&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1638&amp;creative=19454&amp;creativeASIN=0813034345\" target=\"_blank\">Buy at Amazon.de<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.de\/gp\/product\/0813034345?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=interassocofi-21&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1638&amp;creative=19454&amp;creativeASIN=0813034345\" target=\"_blank\"> <\/a>Lowe, Elizabeth and Earl E.
