The London Review Bookshop is delighted to announce its 2013-14 season of translation masterclasses with leading literary translators, run in association with the British Centre for Literary Translation.
There will be four masterclass sessions over two Saturdays (morning and afternoon sessions) on offer, for translators working from French, Spanish and German into English. Participants should have a good working knowledge of the language, and may be asked to prepare their own translations in advance.
German masterclasses will be guided by Sean Whiteside.
We are also offering six evening classes, on a Monday, which will be open to translators working out of any language into English.
MASTERCLASS CERTIFICATION
Participants who attend all four sessions in one particular language, or all six non-language specific evening classes, will receive a certificate of attendance.
Saturday classes will cost £75 per half day session.
Monday evenings will cost £75 per session.
All the masterclasses will cover a range of topics, including non-standard language, breaking the rules and getting away with it, colloquial language, slang, voice, style, and punctuation.
Masterclasses on translation from languages other than German are also available. For more information on the programme, visit the LRB website.
