Freeman, Joan – Gifted and Talented International, 2012

Fairytale in Tradition and Literature. Fairytale: An Interdisciplinary Turco-Danish Study of the Collective v. the Individual Nature of the Response to Literature. Report No. 3.

Reader, Text, Translation, and Interpretive Potentials.
Dollerup, Cay; And Others – 1990
No matter what pains translators take to produce a target-language text "identical" to the source-language text, criticism and/or translation of an original literary work cannot be the same in different language communities.
