ARTW B240 - Literary Translation Workshop

Institution:

Haverford College

Subject:

Description:

K.Kirchwey Open to creative writing students and students of literature, the syllabus includes some theoretical readings, but the emphasis is practical and analytical, considering parallel translations of certain enduring literary texts as well as books and essays about the art of translation. Literary translation will be considered as a spectrum ranging from Dryden's "metaphrase" (word-for-word translation) all the way through imitation and adaptation. The course will include class visits by working literary translators. The Italian verbs for "to translate" and "to betray" are neighbors; throughout, the course concerns the impossibility and importance of literary translation.
