La recepción de tres novelas de George Sand en España a través de sus ediciones y (re)traducciones

Abstract

This article is an analysis of the Spanish and Catalan retranslations of three works by the French writer George Sand (1804-1876): La mare au diable, Un hiver a Majorque and La petite Fadette. This study looks at various factors and at a number of interrelated individuals and groups, which played a role in determining the fate of these works. The analysis includes a look at the consequences of the inclusion of the author’s works on the Index Librorum Prohibitorum and at the effects of the Franco regime’s censorship. There is also a discussion of the feminist movement’s embrace of this author, the fact that her life and work have become the focus of tourist attractions, and the main translation challenges.
