Archaization in Literary Translation as Nostalgic Pastiche - Krzysztof Filip Rudolf - Bog

The book focuses on the phenomenon of archaization in literary translation. It shows that archaization is closely linked with nostalgia, both phenomena betraying deep-seated affinities. Archaism, like nostalgia, eclectically and arbitrarily recreates the past, in accordance with dominant political and cultural agendas.
