Abstract:

Lance Hewson's book on translation criticism sets out to examine ways in 
which a literary text may be explored as a translation, not primarily to judge it, 
but to understand where the text stands in relation to its original by examining 
the interpretative potential that results from the translational choices that have 
been made. After considering theoretical aspects of translation criticism, 
Hewson sets out a method of analysing originals and their translations on three 
different levels. Tools are provided to describe translational choices and their 
potential effects, and applied to two corpora: Flaubert's "Madame Bovary" and 
six of the English translations, and Austen's "Emma", with three 
of the French translations. The results of the analyses are used to construct a 
hypothesis about each translation, which is classified according to two scales of 
measurement, one distinguishing between "just" and "false" interpretations, and 
the other between "divergent similarity", "relative divergence", "radical 
divergence" and "adaptation".
