“…(2007, pp. 40-41) More specifically, as recent scholarship on translation and print practices in early modern Britain has demonstrated, the liminal features of the printed book are of particular importance in the early mo dern English history of translation (Armstrong, 2007(Armstrong, , 2015Coldiron, 2012Coldiron, , 2015aColdiron, , 2015bHosington, 2017;Hosington, 2017, 2018). If the early modern period arguably represented a key moment in the crystallization of the English literary canon and cultural identity, this was also a time of intense literary, cultural, and ideological exchanges with continental Europe.…”

This article addresses the ways in which Thomas Hawkins, a translator engaged in the cultural and literary activities of early Stuart court culture, but also in the transnational, Anglo-French Catholic networks of the time, appropriates cer tain Odes of Horace to assert his cultural, literary, and ideological values at the courts of Charles I and Henrietta Maria. Focusing in particular on the para texts of the printed volume in its various editions (1625-1638), which include a translator's preface as well as a number of commendatory poems from contemporary writers and courtiers, this article revisits Theo Hermans's (2014a [1985]) and André Lefevere's (2006Lefevere's ( [1992) seminal methods for analyzing the 'manipulation of literary fame' in early modern England. While confirming Hermans's and Lefevere's attention to issues of patronage and cultural norms, as well as the pivotal importance of paratexts as markers of such factors, I argue that the strategies of ideological and political encoding at work in the productions of English seventeenth-century court culture are best understood when approached from an "enlarged" (Tymoczko, 2005(Tymoczko, , 2007 methodological stance. This means complementing well-established analyses of literary ma nip ulation in terms of patronage and cultural norms with specific attention to the material conditions in which translations were produced and circulated; their significance to the complex and ideologically conflicted milieu of the early Stuart court; and the social, political, and religious networks in which trans lators operated, well beyond the immediate circles of courtly patronage and influence. Keywords: translation, manipulation, cultural approach, historical network analysis, early modern England Résumé L'article examine les différentes modalités de l'appropriation de certaines Odes d'Horace par le traducteur Thomas Hawkins, actif dans les milieux de

Historical and Sociolinguistic Approaches to French

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Historical and Sociolinguistic Approaches to French showcases the most innovative research being done today on both the history and the sociolinguistics of the French language. It foregrounds in particular current research at the intersection of these two fields in historical sociolinguistics, a field which has seen significant recent growth. The research in the volume is all strongly data-centred, drawing on a wide range of both well-established and innovative theoretical and methodological approaches in order to open up new perspectives on the study of the French language in the twenty-first century. Particular emphasis is placed on combining quantitative and qualitative approaches, on diversifying tools, methods, and objects of inquiry, and on adopting comparative and multilingual perspectives where these shed new light on important questions relating to French. The volume therefore not only highlights the current state of the field in French linguistics but also the new directions in which the field is heading.
