Routledge Lorca in English - History of Translation Study

Lorca in English provides a deep look into how the works of Federico Garcia Lorca have been translated into the English language. Part of the Routledge Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Literature series, this book examines how translations serve as a method of rewriting and manipulation. It tracks how political and ideological motivations have shaped the way Lorca is presented to English-speaking audiences. By analyzing successive re-translations from the time of his death through the 21st century, the text explores why there is a constant drive to rewrite his legacy. Readers will learn about his changing reputation, including his representation as the quintessential Spanish Republican. This book is an essential resource for those studying the relationship between language, politics, and literary reputation in the English-speaking world.
