Teaching Literature in Translation: Whose Territory and Which Audience?

Katz, Michael R.

ADFL Bulletin, v29 n2 p36-38 Win 1998

Teaching foreign-language literature in translation, within the foreign language department, has intellectual and pragmatic justifications. Intellectually, it is a source of joy for language faculty to share target language literature, and it is the thematic components, not language, that offer richest discussion. Practically, students don't have time to read literature in original language, and language programs need enrollments. (MSE)
