Venuti wins a Prize for the translation of Diari 1918. Primers fragments
21/02/201821/02/2018
The translation theorist and historian, Lawrence Venuti, wins Global Humanities Translation Prize for a translation-in-progress of Daybook 1918: Early Fragments by Catalan poet J. V. Foix.
With Diari 1918, says Jon Yates, Foix emerged as one of Europe’s most influential avant-garde poets and intellectuals. Venuti’s fluid translation from Catalan of prose poems brings closer Foix’s work to the English-speaking public.
