CORDINGLEY Anthony (MCF)

Anthony Cordingley is Associate Professor in English and Translation Studies. His principal fields of research are modernist and contemporary literature, with a focus on multilingual writing, translation, and philosophy. He has written a lot about Samuel Beckett, in particular, and translation, more broadly. His interest in the how modalities of authorship change within different configurations of translation has led him to write or co/-edit books and collections on self-translation, collaborative translation, genetic translation studies, and translation archives. He is currently on secondment to the University of Sydney, where he is Robinson Fellow, responsible for the Translation and the World Literary System project.
