Ian will be speaking on 'Rendering Readers' Soulscapes: Variant Translation of Interiority in Late Medieval English and Scottish Literary Culture鈥�. His paper addresses the issue of how in late medieval English and Scottish literary culture each choice of translation - down to the smallest preposition, modulation of tone or shift of voice - affects the configuration of reader interiorities, especially in contemplative, meditative or allegorical works.
