Abstract

This study of the practice, as opposed to the theory, of translation among French writers of the Renaissance, takes as its exemplar the humanist scholar and publisher Etienne Dolet (1509-46). It also seeks to demonstrate its relation to the intellectual and political controversies of the time.
