An authoritative examination of the continuing crisis in the Atlantic Alliance. Since the inception of NATO many have said that it would not last. Now, after 30 years of the NATO Alliance, this book discusses whether the present discord will actually bring about the dissolution of NATO, or whether it is simply the old situation in a new disguise. This book, based on a Symposium held in September 1983, outlines the military and economic crises, looks at the various solutions and, finally, focuses on the future of the Alliance.
Reversing F. O. Matthiessen's famous description of translation as “an Elizabethan art”, Elizabethan literature may well be considered “an art of translation‎”. Amidst a climate of intense intercultural and intertextual exchange, the cultural figure of translatio studii had become a formative concept in most European vernacular writing of the period. However, due to the comparatively marginal status of English in European literary culture, it was above all translation in the literal sense that became the dominant mode of applying this concept in late 16th-century England. Translations into English were not only produced on an unprecedented scale, they also became a key site for critical debate where contemporary discussions about authorship, style, and the development of a specifically English literary identity converged. The essays in this volume set out to explore Elizabethan translation as a literary practice and as a crucial influence on English literature. They analyse the competitive balancing of voices and authorities found in these texts and examine the ways in which both translated models and English literary culture were creatively transformed in the process of appropriation.
