Hilary Brown presents a wide-ranging and scrupulously scholarly study of women translators in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. [...] Brown has produced an exemplary and meticulous study that is judicious in its analysis. It is essential and stimulating reading for scholars and students of translation studies and early modern studies alike.

Joanna Raisbeck, Modern Language Review

Hilary Brown's illuminating Women & Early Modern Cultures of Translation: Beyond the Female Tradition [is a] groundbreaking scholarly study [which] will prompt not only a reassessment of her titular focus, but of the history of translation as well.

Gregary J. Racz, Translation Review

Hilary Brown's enormously learned and lucidly written book accomplishes two things. First, it presents as complete an account as is currently possible of women translators known to have worked in Germany between 1500 and 1690. Second, contextualizing their work in relation to the much better-studied work of their English counterparts, it challenges what was until recently an orthodox set of beliefs about early modern women translators, their literary status and their methods of working. The outcome is a study that demands attention from all students of translation history and of early modern women's writing.

Hilary Browns study, Women and Early Modern Cultures of Translation: Beyond the Female Tradition, has certainly earned the moniker of being a groundbreaking study. [...] The book presents a polemical discussion on the relevance and accuracy of using gender as a key factor in examining early modern female translators [...] Browns perspective is [...] innovative and thought-provoking.

Margarita Savchenkova, Translation and Interpreti Augng Studies

[Hilary Brown's] brilliant monograph […] offers the first comprehensive overview of all known women translators in the sixteenth-and seventeenth-century German-speaking states. […] By combining new work on historical sources with critical perspectives from the discipline of translation studies, Hilary Brown rewrites the history of early modern women translators. […] Brown's bold study invites us to approach the history of translation in the twenty-first century in a more multi-faceted, inclusive way.

Regina Toepfer, Arbitrium

Women and Early Modern Cultures of Translation: Beyond the Female Tradition is a major new intervention in research on early modern translation and will be an essential point of reference for anyone interested in the history of women translators. Research on women translators has often focused on early modern England; the example of early modern England has been taken as the norm for the rest of the continent and has shaped research on gender and translation more generally. This book brings a new European perspective to the field by introducing the case of Germany. It draws attention to forty women who can be identified as translators in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Germany and shows how their work does not fit easily into traditional narratives about marginalization and subversiveness. The study uses the example of Germany to argue against reading the work of translating women primarily through the lens of gender and to challenge claims about the existence of a female translation tradition which transcends the boundaries of time and place. Broadening our perspective to include Germany provides a more nuanced and informed account of the position of women within European translation cultures and forces us to rethink gender as a category of analysis in translation history. The book makes the case for a new 'woman-interrogated' approach to translation history (to borrow a concept from Carol Maier) and as such it will provide a blueprint for future work in the area.
