Further, medievalists have often characterized translator-source relationships as adversarial. In \u003ci\u003eContinental England\u003c\/i\u003e, Elizaveta Strakhov develops a new model, \u003ci\u003ereparative translation\u003c\/i\u003e, as a corrective to both formulations. Zeroing in on \u003ci\u003eformes fixes\u003c\/i\u003e poetry-and Chaucer as a leading practitioner-she shows that translation played two essential, interrelated roles: it became a channel for rebuilding fragmented communities, and it restored unity to Francophone cultural landscapes fractured by war. Further, used in particular to express England's aspirational relationship to Francophone culture despite the ongoing war, translation became the means by which England negotiated a new vision of itself as Continental rather than self-contained. Chaucer's own translation work and fusion of Francophone and Italian humanist influences in his poetry rendered him a paradigmatic figure for England's new bid for Continental relevance. Interpreting Chaucer's posthumous canonization as a direct result of reparative translation, Strakhov shows how England's transition from island to Continental constituent problematizes our contemporary understandings of nation-bound authors and canons.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eElizaveta Strakhov is Assistant Professor of English at Marquette University.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 272\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.61 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 01, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53344406798643,"sku":"9780814258163","price":75.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/f7AJPt4R7v9780814258163.webp?v=1778725458","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/continental-england-form-translation-and-chaucer-in-the-hundred-years-war-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
