Keywords:
Pseudotranslation, Crébillon, L’écumoire.
Abstract
Pseudotranslation, i. e. an original text presented to the readers as a translation, has been present in European literature throughout the last ten centuries, with such prominent examples as Don Quixote or the Lettres persanes by Montesquieu. L’écumoire, or Tanzaï et Néadarné: Histoire japonois, by Crébillon, would have been yet another of the many pseudotranslations of ‘foreigners’ letters’ that were in vogue back in the 18th century, had it not been for the extremely peculiar paratextual framework of the narration, which is presented as a poli-pseudotranslation from six different languages.Downloads
