Rip Van Winkle\u27s Republic: Washington Irving in History and Memory
No full textTwo centuries ago, native New Yorker Washington Irving exploded onto the literary scene of Europe with the publication of his breakout collection of stories, The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent. Published in England and America in 1819?1820, and universally praised for its inventive characters and soul-searching qualities, including the immortal tales ?Rip Van Winkle? and ?The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,? the volume enjoyed remarkable transatlantic success, allowing Irving to become the first of his nation to support himself as a professional author.In this distinctive collection, historians and literary scholars come together to reassess Irving?s imaginative world and complex cultural legacy. Alternately a satirist and a nostalgia merchant, Irving was ever absorbed in reconstituting a lost past, which the volume dubs ?Rip Van Winkle?s Republic.? The assembled scholars explore issues of Anglo-American culture, the power of imagery, race, and the treatment of time and history in Irving?s vast body of literature, as well as his status as a bibliophile, an antiquarian, and a prominent figure in an age of literary celebrity.Edited by acclaimed historians Andrew Burstein and Nancy Isenberg, Rip Van Winkle?s Republic marks a rediscovery of this marvelous author of social satire and fabled tales of the past.https://repository.lsu.edu/facultybooks/1276/thumbnail.jp
Washington Irving in Slovene translation: "Rip Van Winkle"
Get PDFV magistrski nalogi z naslovom »Washington Irving v slovenskem prevodu: Rip Van Winkle« bom poiskala in analizirala težave, ki so se pojavile pri prenosu ironije v slovenski prevod. Avtor ironijo ustvarja s pomočjo višje socialne govorice in z načrtnim poimenovanjem glavnih oseb. V teoretičnem delu sem na kratko opredelila književno prevajanje in opisala problematiko prevajanja ironije in imen. V empiričnem delu sem za ugotavljanje nedoslednosti pri prenosu višje socialne govorice jezika v slovenski prevod uporabila jezikoslovni primerjalni model po Kitty Van Leuwen Zwart. Analiza je pokazala, da se prevajalka ni dosledno držala uporabe višjega sloga jezika, s čimer se je v prevodu izgubila ironija. Prav tako sem s pomočjo slovarjev ugotavljala morebitne pomene imen oseb, ki se pojavljajo v zgodbi, ter poiskala primerne ustreznice oz. rešitve za slovenski prevod, kajti prevajalka je večinoma ohranila imena v izvirniku, s čimer se je izgubila ironija v prevodu.This study entitled “Washington Irving in Slovene translation: Rip Van Winkle” focuses on finding and analyzing problems that have occurred during the transfer of irony into Slovene translation. The author uses higher social register to create irony. Furthermore, the names of the characters are not coincidental since they are specifically chosen to create irony. The theoretical part consists of a short definition of literary translation and an overview of translating names and irony. In the empirical part of the study, the comparative model from Kitty Van Leuwen Zwart was used to locate inconsistencies during the transfer of higher register in the Slovene translation. The analysis indicated that the translator was not consistent when electing words of higher register thus resulting in the loss of irony. Moreover, using different dictionaries potential meanings of the characters\u27 names have been determined in order to suggest more appropriate equivalents or solutions for the Slovene translation as the translator herself preserved the original names resulting in the lack of irony in the translated text
