The essays in this book are by some English Canada's translators, a group which has made whole libraries of Quebec literature available to English-speaking readers. Philip Stratford, Kathy Mezei, Ray Ellenwood, Betty Bednarski, William Findlay, Linda Gaboriau, Jane Brierley, Susanne de Lotbinière-Harwood, Luise von Flotow, Barbara Godard, David Homel, Wayne Grady, and Sheila Fischman have all contributed to this edited volume. The history of Canada has provided a platform for the development of literary translation. Culture in Transit provides an insider's look at this activity.
