| dc.description.abstract | The huge success of Walter Scott in Portugal in the first half of the 19th century was partially achieved by sacrificing the ironic take on authorship his Waverley Novels entailed. This article examines translations of his works within the context of 19th century Portugal with a focus on the translation(s) of Waverley. The briefest perusal of the Portuguese texts reveals plentiful instances of new textual authority, which naturally compose a sometimes very different author(ship) -- an authorship often mediated by French translations. Thus a complex web of authority emerges effectively, if deviously, (re)creating the polyphony of authorial voices and the displacement of the empirical author first staged by the source texts themselves. | en_US |
| dc.description.abstract | L’immense succès connu par Walter Scott au Portugal dans la première moitié du XIXe siècle se doit en partie au sacrifice de la dimension ironique de la voix auctoriale dans sa série Waverley. Cet article examine les traductions des oeuvres de Scott dans le contexte du Portugal de l’époque en portant une attention particulière aux traductions de Waverley. Même un très bref aperçu des textes portuguais révèle de nombreux exemples d’instances nouvelles d’autorité narrative, lesquelles créent une voix auctoriale parfois très différente de celle du texte original à cause souvent du rôle médiateur des traductions françaises. Un tissu complexe de voix auctoriales émerge ainsi, bien que par le biais d’artifices, recréant la polyphonie des voix auctoriales et le déplacement de l’auteur empirique, mis en scène d’abord par les textes originaux. | en_US |
