"Translators Struggle to Prove Their Academic Bona Fides"

[Stuart Goldberg]

Russkaia literatura no. 4 (1991): 192-200.

See also M. L. Gasparov, "319 sonet Petrarki v perevode O. 
Mandel'shtama: Istoriia teksta i kriterii stilia," in 
Chelovek-kul'tura-istoriia (M.: RGGU IVGI, 2002). 323-337. 

Also, Lada Panova will be speaking about Mandelstam's translations of 
Petrarch in a panel we have set up for this year's AAASS.

Ivanov aims at replicating the experience of Petrarch's Italian reader today, while Mandelstam, at replicating the experience of an Italian contemporary of Petrarch. Consequently, the Russian of Mandelstam's translation is much more modern and less "classical", or archaized. Russell, I think you in particular would be happy to read this article/chapter in Venclova's book, as well as the two translations--because Italian, to you, means as much as Russian.
