Since its inception, the theory of literary translation has been plagued by a disregard of the comprehensive aspect of the translation process. This development throughout the history of translation has led to considerable disagreements and colliding notions regarding the purposes of theory, the parameters of translation criticism, and the question of untranslatability.
