Abstract:

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.
