De nos jours, les pratiques diplomatiques servent un ordre international qu'elles ne cessent de refaçonner, misant sur les révolutions, les guerres et une certaine éthique démocratique. Au Moyen Age également, elles furent une modalité des relations entre Etats. Mais, parce qu'elles exprimaient parfois un rapport de forces et qu'elles se construisaient sur l'échange et la communication, elles tenaient aussi une place et un rôle en d'autres lieux d'expression du pouvoir. Les relations diplomatiques ne constituent pas seulement une alternative à l'affrontement, au recours aux armes et à la violence politique. Elles sont ici envisagées dans toutes leurs dimensions. Des jeux d'échelles permettent de saisir les techniques et les rites qui les structurent dans un cadre curial et, tout autant, leur évolution dans divers espaces géographiques où elles permettent d'instaurer à partir d'un désordre relationnel un ordre diplomatique. Décloisonner l'appréhension d'un tel objet historique, dépasser le seul point de vue des relations internationales ou de la politique extérieure, ouvrir l'horizon vers d'autres cultures, byzantine, musulmane, asiatique, et vers des mondes régis par d'autres références, conduit cet ouvrage à suggérer ce que les recherches sur les relations diplomatiques au Moyen Age peuvent apporter à l'histoire de la diplomatie dans son ensemble.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 2006 OUP hardcover edition. Unread copy in very good condition. From the cover: In the one hundred and ten years covered by volume four of The Oxford History of Literary Translation in English, what characterized translation was above all the move to encompass what Goethe called 'world literature'. This occurred, paradoxically, at a time when English literature is often seen as increasingly self-sufficient. In Europe, the culture of Germany was a new source of inspiration, as were the medieval literatures and the popular ballads of many lands, from Spain to Serbia. From the mid-century, the other literatures of the North, both ancient and modern, were extensively translated, and the last third of the century saw the beginning of the Russian vogue. Meanwhile, as the British presence in the East was consolidated, translation helped readers to take possession of 'exotic' non-European cultures, from Persian and Arabic to Sanskrit and Chinese. The thirty-five contributors bring an enormous range of expertise to the exploration of these new developments and of the fascinating debates which reopened old questions about the translator's task, as the new literalism, whether scholarly or experimental, vied with established modes of translation. The complex story unfolds in Britain and its empire, but also in the United States, involving not just translators, publishers, and readers, but also institutions such as the universities and the periodical press. Nineteenth-century English literature emerges as more open to the foreign than has been recognized before, with far-reaching effects on its orientation.
