This webinar will be delivered by Dr David N.G. Hull, translator and Assistant Professor of Chinese Language and Literature at Washington College in Maryland, USA. Dr Hull has translated many novels and plays of some of the most renowned literary figures in modern and contemporary China such as Mao Dun (茅盾) and Zhang Tianyi (张天翼). In this seminar, Dr Hull will focus on the techniques of translating the satire of Zhang Tianyi’s novel The Pidgin Warrior and showcase how a translation remains faithful to the original while providing an English language reader sufficient context to appreciate the work.
