Cottegnies","doi":"10.1353/rst.2022.0010","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/rst.2022.0010","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract:Thanks to critics such as Ros Ballaster, Paul Salzman, Mary Helen McMurran and Leah Orr, we are now aware that the history of early English prose fiction in the seventeenth century should be seen in a transnational context, and that it is intricately linked with the translation of French, Spanish and Italian contemporary fiction. Translation provided a space for experimentation and opened up English fiction to continental trends. The contiguity between translation and creation is manifest in the juxtaposition of Aphra Behn's Agnes de Castro, a translation of a French histoire galante by Jean-Baptiste Brilhac, with two of her original stories, The Fair Jilt and Oroonoko, in Three Histories (1688). Ros Ballaster has argued that Behn \"built her career in prose on translation from the French,\" but this compilation, although perhaps an editorial, rather than authorial, choice, shows that in Behn's career translating and writing new fiction are intimately related. With Agnes de Castro, a work still sometimes mistaken for an original work, Behn capitalizes on the new vogue for French fiction in translation, but her choice of a sentimental Portuguese story, a form of historical fiction which is a hapax in her short career, was a bold move and showed her experimenting with a genre that had just become fashionable. Intriguingly, her translation was published the very same year as a rival translation by Peter Belon, a commercial translator who specialized in fiction from the French. This article interrogates the meaning of this competition for French fiction and looks at the potential connections between the two translations. As will be apparent, Behn's treatment of the most sentimental features of the story reflects her particular mediation of the novella of sentiment. Moreover, Agnes de Castro leads us to reconsider the engagement of Behn with commercial translation.","PeriodicalId":110062,"journal":{"name":"Restoration: Studies in English Literary Culture, 1660-1700","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131062291","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As imitations of the French heroic romance, they were imbued with Baroque aesthetics, but tried to naturalise and update the genre in their respective ways. In Aretina, George Mackenzie not only employed metafictional strategies and devices to question and overcome the invogue romance form, but also displayed other literary traits which may qualify the result as Gothic Baroque. John Dauncey's The English Lovers culled its story from the national drama to pioneer the novelisation of a play (Heywood's The Fair Maid of the West) into the heroic-romance form, entailing new ways of handling verisimilitude, history, and language in prose fiction. Similarly, Eliana's innovations sought to modernise and simplify the Baroque romance. Though these three works did not directly influence the development of English fiction, they reveal the state of narrative experimentation in the early 1660s (at times incipiently announcing the novel) and the burgeoning of the vernacular mainstream of fiction in matter and taste.","PeriodicalId":110062,"journal":{"name":"Restoration: Studies in English Literary Culture, 1660-1700","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114910885","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Five additional plays have been attributed to Pix. Thirteen of Pix's seventeen works included dedications, which she used to derive additional profits and enhance her prestige as an author. The practice of writing dedications was widespread in seventeenth-century England, a state of affairs unsurprising given the precarious situation of professional writers, amongst whom Pix was no exception. This article focuses on Pix's dedication of The Inhumane Cardinal (1696) to Princess Anne, analyzing its use of a strategy common in such writings, the divinization of the dedicatee. I contend that Pix took advantage of the popularity she had earned through her first two plays, Ibrahim and The Spanish Wives (both staged in 1696 and printed that year with dedications to members of the gentry), to request Anne's permission to offer the princess her novel. In the epistle, Pix adapted conventions which had been developed predominantly in playtexts to legitimize her work of fiction, and Anne herself and the virtues that she exemplifies validate The Inhumane Cardinal as suitable reading, while bringing renown to the writer. Moreover, Pix's panegyric intersects with the political climate by insisting upon Anne's worthiness as the rightful successor to the throne. Therefore, I argue, paratexts should not be disregarded when studying novels, nor, indeed, plays, given that professional writers like Pix involved themselves in various genres throughout their careers.","PeriodicalId":110062,"journal":{"name":"Restoration: Studies in English Literary Culture, 1660-1700","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132982682","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
