The place of the 1958 edition of Andrei Fedorov’s “Introduction to Translation Theory” in the history of translation studies

Summary/Abstract: It is usually the first edition of a book that takes a significant place in the history of a particular area of knowledge. In the case of the translation studies classic, Andrei Fedorov’s Introduction in Translation Theory (1953), its second, revised 1958 edition is no less significant. Free from references to Stalin’s ideas on translation (compared to the first edition), being more elaborate and still containing all the exhaustive definitions of the first edition, it can not only be read as a basis for a general translation theory, but also used as a handbook of translation practice.
