A Writer of One’s Own? Mary Howitt, Fredrika Bremer, Translation, and Literary ’Piracy’ in the US and Britain in the 1840s
No full textFredrika Bremer (1801–1865) was Sweden’s first novelist with an international reputation. Her huge success in England and the U.S. in the 1840s was very much due to her English translator Mary Botham Howitt (1799–1888), an industrious writer and cultural transmitter, especially of Scandinavian literature. Through the American reception of Bremer’s New Sketches of Every-Day Life in 1844, this article investigates the difficulties of literary translation when translators, without functioning international copyright laws, fought an uneven battle against unauthorized reprints. Gender and nation are used as central starting points to discuss these difficulties in relation to changing actors and functions in the literary society of the 19th century
