Dr. Zeiner-Carmichael’s talk will focus on her latest book project, Roman Letters: An Anthology, a collection of original translations of letters dating from the 1st c. BCE – 2nd c. CE. She will address the challenges associated with producing contemporary, accessible translations for texts involving a broad range of epistolary type and originating from diverse cultural contexts. Additionally, Dr. Zeiner-Carmichael will consider Roman translation theory as a point of comparison in prioritizing liberal over literal (verbum pro verbo) translation practices.
