Cultures in Contact Description
Cultures
in
Contact
deals
with
the
complex
cultural
relations
surrounding
the
translation
and
reception
of
Alessandro
Manzoni's
novel
I
promessi
sposi
(1827)
in
nineteenth-century
England
and
a
few
years
later
in
America.
The
critical
and
methodological
perspective
of
this
study
rests
on
the
most
recent
developments
and
final
convergence
of
Translation
Studies
and
Cultural
Studies,
and
considers
translation
as
a
privileged
locus
of
exchange
and
negotiation
of
values
and
ideologies.
The
book
analyses
the
situation
of
the
target
and
source
literatures
and
cultures
at
the
time
of
the
early
translations,
focusing
on
the
systemic
factors
determining
the
selection
of
texts
for
translation.
Particular
attention
has
been
devoted
to
the
receiving
context,
considering
how
and
why
in
England
and
in
America
the
impact
of
Manzoni's
work
was
less
significant
than
in
France
and
Germany.
A
notable
intra-
and
inter-linguistic
interdependency
of
the
English
and
French
translations
of
I
promessi
sposi
developed,
and,
in
this
perspective,
the
influence
that
the
early
French
and
English
versions
exercised
on
the
definitive
edition
of
I
promessi
sposi
appears
today
critically
relevant.
