Resources

The Clark Library's holdings include books and manuscripts in translation in all European languages to support research on how to make ideas accessible to a wider audience and to demonstrate the importance or influence of texts over time. Specific areas of interest include translations of Oscar Wilde in all world languages; European grammars and dictionaries, as well as novels from the hand-press period, with particular attention to French translations; and works that address the business of translation.
