For an upcoming special issue of _Studies in American Jewish Literature_
(slotted for 2004), I am seeking critical essays devoted to Philip
Roth's recent exploration of American life in the last half of the

essays focusing on his other later works, such as _Sabbath's Theatre_
and _The Dying Animal_, but ONLY as they relate to Roth's recent
socio-historical articulation of American identity. Topics for
consideration might include:

Since the middle ages, the process of translation has sought to bring =
the text to a new audience by translating the text literally, or for its =
meaning. The tradition of translation was long carried on by men, and in =
the early modern period became an approved arena for women to exercise =
their pens. While negotiating social, political, and historical contexts =
and considerations, the text necessarily took on aspects of the =
translator's voice.
