The book provides not only a refreshed understanding of the classic work of literature Journey to the West and its translations, but also new insights into how books can be canonised through translation and retranslation in other languages and cultures. The study utilises a mixed-method approach, including both qualitative and quantitative methods featured by digital humanities based on large-scale corpora, examining style and genre through comparative analyses of the translations and retranslations.
This book is of interest to students and scholars in translation studies, language and literature studies, digital humanities, and Chinese studies.
