1.0 Introduction
The term ‘Translation’ as compared to ‘Original’ has acquired an inferior
status in the study of literature. Conservative (and elite as well) readers think that
much of the originality of a good piece of literature gets lost in the process of
translation. This is similar to Francis Bacon’s views on abridged versions of books.
