• brings the theory and practice of translation annotation together in an informed and comprehensive way
• includes practical exercises at the end of each chapter to consolidate learning and allow the reader to put the theory into practice
• culminates with a long annotated literary text, allowing the reader to have a clear vision on how to apply the theoretical elements in a cohesive way
