Abstract:

Following Hayden White and the critical historiography of the 1960s,
the idea underlying this Element is that a historical text is a
translation of past events. This implies that retelling stories can
vary depending on the historian/translator who recounts the facts.
Translating His-stories focuses on how women – Jen Bervin, Patience
Agbabi, Caroline Bergvall, Erin Mouré, and many others – dare to
translate stories previously told by men. In line with contemporary
theories of translation, these stories are translations because women
rewrite, again but for the first time, what has already been told.

Written In: English (eng)
