Literature and Religion

Arts & Literature

“Spiritual values connect religion and literature as manifestations of what is at the core of our humanity, even though the forms of manifestation and the emphases in different cultures may differ from one to the other. Through a series of dialogues and exchanges, David Jasper and Ou Guang-an explore those spiritual values in this fascinating book, Literature and Religion, and offer us much to learn, contemplate, and celebrate.”

The Translatability of the Religious Dimension in Shakespeare from Page to Stage, from West to East

Arts & Literature

“Taking Shakespeare in the Chinese context as an example, Jenny Wong's book eloquently argues that the omission or repression of religious terms and allusions in literary translation has more to do with difficulties in social, political, and cultural backgrounds than the usually empty talk about linguistic or conceptual untranslatability. This book makes a significant contribution to translation studies and comparative literature. It is a useful book for anyone interested in global Shakespeare, comparative study of religion and literature, and translation and world literature.”
