No full textThe Framing of Fiammetta:Gender, authorship and voice in an Elizabethan translation of Boccaccio
No full textBoccaccio was one of the most popular Italian authors in English translation in Elizabethan England, with translations being published of Decameron novellas, his Filocolo, Elegia di Madonna Fiammetta, and Ninfale fiesolano between the mid-1560s and the end of the century. This essay will consider the 1587 translation Amorous Fiammetta, an unusual romance narrative, written by a fourteenth-century male author as a first-person narrative in the voice of his female protagonist, and then translated into English two and a half centuries later by a male translator, Bartholemew Yong. Rather than focus only on the target, translated text as the site of this enquiry, this article approaches the translation via those material, textual, and visual features which reframe the work for an anglophone audience. In this way, it considers how a gendered narrative authority is negotiated via the interplay of paratextual features (such as the title page, addresses to the reader, titles, and names) and within the target text itself. The presence of imported paratexts from Italian and French source editions in this English translation adds a further nuanced dimension to the discussion of competing authorial and editorial voices in this book, and their mediation to the English readerships. In focusing on questions of gender and genre, I propose some conclusions about the readerships and function of this imported Italian romance in the English receiving context
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
