Crossing Borders: Sinology in Translation Studies

Sinologists have long been at the forefront of cultural exchanges between China and the West, and translation is a necessary pre-condition for their intercultural exchange. This book merges the academic fields of translation studies and sinology, to gain greater insights into how Chinese works have been transmitted across cultural and linguistic borders, and how translation has enabled global scholarship on Chinese culture from the Ming-Qing period to the twentieth century.
