Metre, rhyme and temporary norm as motives to manipulate Czech versions of Spanish romances : Tradition and Modern Methods
2011
Abstract
The article, based on a conference pronounced in Varsaw, in october 2010, summarizes the history of Czech approaches (1850-2000) to translating both Spanish Romancero and romances written by modern Spanish authors. The author shows how some Czech translators manipulated the original poetic texts by excluding its principal formal features (rhymes and assonaces).
