This dissertation presents a theory of teaching derived from the production and reception of translations, with a particular focus on the neophyte. The neophyte is described as either an individual who through the process of literary translation deepens his or her understanding of a new language, or a new reader of translations beginning to harvest a cosmopolitan worldview.
