Thomas Mann in English A Study in Literary Translation
No full textThomas Mann owes his place in world literature to the dissemination of his works through translation. Indeed, it was the monumental success of the original English translations that earned him the title of 'the greatest living man of letters' during his years in American exile (1938-52). This book provides the first systematic exploration of the English versions, illustrating the vicissitudes of literary translation through a principled discussion of a major author. The study illuminates the contexts in which the translations were produced before exploring the transformations Mann's work has undergone in the process of transfer. An exemplary analysis of selected textual dimensions demonstrates the multiplicity of factors which impinge upon literary translation, leading far beyond the traditional preoccupation with issues of equivalence. Thomas Mann in English thus fills a gap both in translation studies, where Thomas Mann serves as a constant but ill-defined point of reference, and in literary studies, which has focused increasingly on the author's wider reception.FC -- New Directions in German Studies -- Volumes in the series -- Title -- Copyright -- Dedication -- Contents -- 1 Introduction: Thomas Mann in English -- 2 Translation and retranslation: The history of Thomas Mann's works in English -- 3 Helen Tracy Lowe-Porter, Thomas Mann and the practice of translation -- 4 An exercise in translation comparison: Der Zauberberg -- 5 Transferring the paratextual: The translation of Thomas Mann's titles -- 6 The translation of discourse forms: Speech and thought presentation in Buddenbrooks -- 7 Translating modes of address as an index of interpersonal dynamics -- 8 Syntactic form and literary meaning in translation -- 9 Conclusion -- Bibliography -- IndexThomas Mann owes his place in world literature to the dissemination of his works through translation.
