"

The first book-length work of scholarship to explore the Victorian consumption and canonization of Asian literature at the level of the general reader

Engages seriously with the popular (non-scholarly) translations that have been neglected in other studies

Considers literary translations into English from six different Asian languages (Arabic, Persian, Sanskrit, Hindi, Chinese and Japanese)

Examines the entire process whereby translations were produced for, disseminated to, and consumed by readers, containing individual chapters on translation, publication, circulation to shops and libraries, and reception

For evidence of how contemporary 'ordinary' readers responded to these translations, the book draws on a unique archive which the author has collected, consisting of original copies annotated by their Victorian and Edwardian former owners

Alexander Bubb is a Senior Lecturer in English at Roehampton University. He is the author of Meeting Without Knowing It: Kipling and Yeats at the Fin de Siècle (OUP, 2016), which won the University English Book Prize (2017), and was nominated for the European Society for the Study of English Book Awards in the early-career category (2018). His research concerns translation, migration, multilingualism, and cosmopolitanism in the Victorian world, and how these phenomena were shaped by Britain's relationship with India.
