Hofstadter is also an active literary translator who has written about translation, perhaps most notably in his 1997 book \u003ci\u003eLe Ton Beau de Marot\u003c\/i\u003e, where he draws on his cognitive science research. And yet he has never considered the possibility that translation might itself be a strange loop. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this book Douglas Robinson puts Hofstadter's strange-loops theory into dialogue with a series of definitive theories of translation, in the process showing just how cognitively and affectively complex an activity translation actually is.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDouglas Robinson \u003c\/b\u003eis Chair Professor of English at Hong Kong Baptist University, Hong Kong, and is one of the world's leading experts on translation.
