Margaret Besser Castle in Sweden: translation from the French This complete translation of the play Château en Suède, written in 1960 by the French novelist and playwright Françoise Sagan, seeks to render the original work in all its vigor, humor, and complexity. Special attention was paid to preserving the ambiguity, tonal variations, and irony of the dialogue, and techniques of oblique translation such as grammatical transposition and modulation, verbal equivalencies, and adaptation were used with the intent of achieving a fluid and nuanced English text. The student’s goal was to produce a faithful and astute translation of a previously untranslated work, fit for publication. |
