摘要

格林兄弟的《儿童与家庭故事》(Kinder- und Hausmärchen, KHM)不仅是德国文化不可或缺的一部分，而且在过去两个世纪里在全球取得了成功。目前，格林兄弟的收藏包括翻译成100多种语言，其中一些是在格林兄弟的一生中写的。特别是英文版对这些故事的全球接受产生了相当大的影响，因为大多数故事都是用翻译而不是原语言接受的。然而，许多格林童话的读者并没有意识到这一点。人们常常忽视的一点是，译文很少能被描述为与原文一模一样，它受到不同因素的影响，如翻译传统、译语文化或译者自己的想法。下面的文章探讨了这些故事是如何以及为什么在英语翻译中被编辑成儿童文学的。

Early English Translations of Grimm's "Children and Household Tales" as Children's Literature

The Children and Household Tales (Kinder- und Hausmärchen, KHM) by the Brothers Grimm are not only an integral part of German culture but have also become a global success over the last two centuries. Currently, the collections of the Grimm brothers include translations into over 100 languages, some of which were written during the lifetime of the Brothers Grimm. English editions in particular carry a considerable influence on the global reception of the tales, since most of the tales are received in a translation instead of the original language. However, many readers of the Grimms’ tales are not aware of this. It is often disregarded that a translation can rarely be described as identical to the original and is subject to different factors such as the translation tradition, the target culture, or the translator’s own ideas. The following essay investigates how and why the tales were edited in English translation to be modified as children’s literature.

期刊介绍： The 2019 tercentenary of the publication of Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe provides the perfect opportunity to reconsider the global status of the Robinsonade as a genre. Its translations, transformations, and a gradual separation from the founding text by Daniel Defoe have revealed its truly international character, with the term ‘Robinsonade’ itself first used in the German literary tradition and the most enduring narrative structure established not so much by Defoe himself but by J.J. Rousseau and his commentary on Robinson Crusoe in Emile; or, On Education. This issue will address the circulation of the Robinsonade across cultures and national contexts, the adaptability of the form and its potential to speak to various audiences at different historical moments. We invite contributions on all aspects of the afterlives of the Robinsonade across languages and media, with a particular interest in contemporary variations on the theme.
