| Abstract: |
The central project of this thesis is to examine the translation of stylistic elements in Nikolai Gogol's story "Shinel" ("The Overcoat"). First, I construct a theoretical foundation which both enables and justifies the representation of style in the target language, by considering translation as artistic interpretation. I then apply this theory to two important stylistic techniques employed by Gogol: skaz and defamiliarization. Next, I compare selected examples from four previous English translations of "Shinel" to explore how other translators have handled these stylistic techniques. Finally, I provide my own translation, which aims to explicate Gogol's style to an English-speaking audience. |
