Lorca in English : A History of Manipulation through Translation: Routledge Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Literature

Autor Andrew Samuel Walsh
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 noi 2021
Lorca in English examines the evolution of translations of Federico Garca Lorca into English as a case of rewriting and manipulation through politically and ideologically motivated translation. As new translations of Federico Garca Lorca continue to appear in the English-speaking world and his literary reputation continues to be rewritten through these successive re-translations, this book explores the reasons for this constant desire to rewrite Lorca since the time of his murder right into the 21st century. From his representation as the quintessential Spanish Republican martyr, to his adoption through translation by the Beat Generation, to his elevation to iconic status within the Queer Studies movement, this volume analyzes the reasons for this evolution and examines the current direction into which this canonical author is heading in the English-speaking world.
