Henry Stead and Josephine Balmer

In our final translation slam, we’ll be diving into Latin poetry with Josephine Balmer (Sappho: Poems and FragmentsClassical Women Poets) and Henry Stead.

The symposium following the slam will focus in particular on the goals of feminist translation. Whom is feminist translation for? Is there an appetite among readers or theatre-goers or publishers for feminist translation?

This event is part of the International Summer School in Literary Translation and Creative Writing at the British Centre for Literary Translation in Norwich and is organised in collaboration with the National Centre for Writing.
