Welcome to the translation website, an educational
resource dealing with literature in translation.

On this site you'll find modules dealing with major works that are frequently read and taught in humanities and other courses, illustrating variations in well-known translations and defining the key issues that are involved in translating literary texts.

Each module includes illustrations of the ways in which key passages from a classic work have been translated, analyses of the variations in the translations, and exercises to aid in analyzing the differences in these translations. The final page of each module contains links to useful sites for further study.

The translation website was developed by Victoria Poulakis, now Professor Emerita, formerly Professor of English, at Northern Virginia Community College. Development of this site was aided by grants from the Virginia Community College System and the Dogwood Project of Northern Virginia Community College.
