Bibliography of Subtitling and Related Subjects
For a long time there was very little literature on subtitling. (Moreover, the words "Subtitles" and/or "Captions"
are very rarely to be found in the indexes of handbooks or bibliographies on the cinema.) A few experienced subtitlers
had written down their observations and thoughts or lectured on the subject, but on the whole, finding source
material used to be an uphill struggle.
Things have changed, however, since around 1993, and now there are quite a few books available and a
multitude of academic papers on this subject, as well as on subjects related to media translation. Here I can
mention only the most important. More complete bibliographies can be found in
