Renditions was launched by the Research Centre for Translation, The
Chinese University of Hong Kong in 1973. This biannual academic journal of
Chinese literature in English translation has published eighty issues to
date, and is widely recognised as the best and most important journal of
its kind. The new lecture series is an annual event that invites key
figures in literary translation to talk about their experiences in the
field. Admission for the lecture is free, and all are welcome to attend.

It is our great hope that Renditions Distinguished Lecture Series on
Literary Translation will, together with Renditions publications,
reinforce Renditions’ founding goals: to give western readers the chance
to read Chinese work of literary art and the humanities, and to discuss
and demonstrate the art of literary translation.
