摘要

詹姆斯·多斯利(James Dodsley, 1724-1797)于1779年出版的《维特》的匿名译本被认为是丹尼尔·马尔萨斯(Daniel Malthus, 1730-1800)和理查德·格雷夫斯(Richard Graves, 1715-1804)的作品。如果在格雷夫斯的生活和工作的背景下重新审视多斯利维特，后者的情况可以明显得到加强。1777年，他的妻子去世，引发了一场情感危机，这可能导致他与歌德笔下的主人公产生共鸣。此外，《多斯利维特》与格雷夫斯的《Columella》(1779)和《lucuations》(1786)有一些显著的相似之处(两者都表明了对歌德小说的复杂而矛盾的态度)。根据这些发现，马尔萨斯翻译的作者身份的证据现在应该进行彻底的重新评估。

The Authorship of the First English Translation of Goethe

ABSTRACT The anonymous translation of Werther that was published by James Dodsley (1724-1797) in 1779 has been attributed to both Daniel Malthus (1730-1800) and Richard Graves (1715-1804). The case for the latter can be appreciably strengthened if the Dodsley Werther is re-examined in the context of Graves’s life and work. The death of his wife in 1777 precipitated an emotional crisis, which could have led him to identify with Goethe’s protagonist. The Dodsley Werther exhibits, moreover, some notable similarities to Graves’s Columella (1779) and Lucubrations (1786) (both of which are indicative of a complex, ambivalent attitude to Goethe’s novel). In the light of these findings, the evidence for Malthus’s authorship of the translation should now be subjected to a thoroughgoing reappraisal.
