The new monograph of Vitana Kostadinova is an original theoretical study of the Bulgarian translations of Jane Austen, the first ever study of Jane Austen in Bulgaria (Kostadinova, Vitana. Jane Austen Translated: Cultural Transformations Across Space and Time. Plovdiv: Plovdiv University Press, 2018). The work applies approaches ranging from literary-historical study of the Bulgarian texts of Janes Austen’s novels to reception and translation of culture approaches, discussing essential techniques of rendering linguistic devices with the goal of identifying the adequate rendering the specificity of the British classic in another language, in another culture, in another time.
