Abstract

Doelstelling: Deze scriptie is een becommentarieerde vertaling van drie kortverhalen van Hemingway. De stilistische analyse wil onderzoeken welke effecten de stilistische kenmerken van Hemingway beogen. Het hoofdstuk vertaalimplicaties heeft als doel de specifieke vertaalproblemen nader te onderzoeken. Middelen of methode: De stilistische kenmerken worden uit drie kortverhalen van Hemingway gedistileerd en becommentarieerd. De kortverhalen zijn: 'The Killers', 'The Battler' en 'The Gambler, the Nun and the Radio'. Verschillende passages worden uit de kortverhalen gehaald en grondig geanalyseerd. Er wordt vooral aandacht besteed aan het effect dat de schrijver beoogt. Resultaten: Het grootste gedeelte van de stilistische kenmerken dat aanwezig is in de originele Engelse tekst, wordt in de Nederlandse vertaling gereproduceerd. Deze stilistische kenmerken bereiken in de Nederlandse vertaling dezelfde effecten als in de originele tekst. De belangrijkste effecten zijn: er wordt een nauwe band gecreëerd met de lezers door het gebruik van spreektaal, de zintuiglijke woordkeuze en de minimalistische beschrijvingen; de lezer wordt gestimuleerd om zelf de tekst te interpreteren en het chronologische aspect in het verhaal speelt een prominente rol.

Abstract

In a dual biography crafted around the famous encounter between the French philosopher who wrote about power and the Russian empress who wielded it with great aplomb, Robert Zaretsky invites us to reflect on the fraught relationship between politics and philosophy, and between a man of thought and a woman of action.

Abstract

Of all the stories that comprise The Canterbury Tales, certain ones have attracted more attention than others in terms of literary scholarship and canonization. The Monk's Tale, for instance, was popular in the decades after Chaucer's death, but has since suffered critical neglect, particularly in the twentieth century. The opposite has occurred with the Nun's Priest's Tale, which has long been one of the most popular and widely discussed of the tales, cited by some critics as the most essentially 'Chaucerian' of them all. This annotated bibliography is a record of all editions, translations, and scholarship written on The Monk's Tale and the Nun's Priest's Tale in the twentieth century with a view to revisiting the former and creating a comprehensive scholarly view of the latter. A detailed introduction summarizes all extant writings on the two tales and their relationship to each other, giving a sense of the complexity of Chaucer's seminal work and the unique function of its component stories. By dealing with these two tales in particular, this bibliography suggests the complicated critical reception and history of The Canterbury Tales.
