Tilting at Windmills: Don Quijote in English _________________________________________ Michael J. McGrath rinted on the inside jacket of Edith Grossman’s 2003 transla- tion of Don Quijote is the following statement: “Unless you read PSpanish, you have never read Don Quixote.” For many people, the belief that a novel should be read in its original language is not contro- vertible. The Russian writer Dostoevsky learned Spanish just to be able to read Don Quijote. Lord Byron described his reading of the novel in Spanish as “a pleasure before which all others vanish” (Don Juan 14.98). Unfortunately, there are many readers who are unable to read the novel in its original language, and those who depend upon an English transla- tion may read a version that is linguistically and culturally quite different from the original. In his article “Traduttori Traditori: Don Quixote in English,” John Jay Allen cites the number of errors he encountered in different translations as a reason for writing the article. In addition, ac- cording to Allen, literary scholarship runs the risk of being skewed as a result of the translator’s inability to capture the text’s original meaning: I think that we Hispanists tend to forget that the overwhelming ma- jority of comments on Don Quixote by non-Spaniards—novelists, theoreticians of literature, even comparatists—are based upon read- ings in translation, and I, for one, had never considered just what this might mean for interpretation. The notorious difficulty in es- tablishing the locus of value in Don Quixote should alert us to the tremendous influence a translator may have in tipping the balance in what is obviously a delicate equilibrium of ambiguity and multi- valence. (1) 7 8 Michael J. McGrath Cervantes Burton Raffel, the translator of the 1995 Norton edition of the novel, ac- knowledges in the Introduction the importance of recreating in English the Spanish elements of the novel: “I want this translation to sound like it’s set in Spain to feel as Spanish as possible…. It’s not a book that could have been written in English—or indeed in any other language. Don Quijote’s magnificence is indubitably Hispanic” (xv). Eight English trans- lations have appeared since 1949. Now that 400 years have passed since the publication of Part I of Miguel de Cervantes’ masterpiece, do we have today the English translations we need to appreciate Don Quijote? In my comparison of the most significant points of the novel, I refer to the following English translations of Don Quijote:1 1. The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote de la Mancha. A new translation from the Spanish, with a Critical Text Based on the First Editions of 1605 and 1615, and with Variant Readings, Variorum Notes, and an Introduction by Samuel Putnam. New York: Viking, 1949. 2. The Adventures of Don Quixote. Translated by J[ohn] M[ichael] Cohen. 1950. Harmondsworth, Middlesex: Penguin, 1975. 3. Don Quixote of la Mancha. Translated and with an Introduction by Walter Starkie. New York: New American Library, 1964. 4. Don Quixote. The Ormsby Translation, Revised. Backgrounds and Sources. Criticism.

  • Las Transformaciones De Aldonza Lorenzo
    Lemir 14 (2010): 205-215 ISSN: 1579-735X ISSN: Las transformaciones de Aldonza Lorenzo Mario M. González Universidade de São Paulo RESUMEN: Aldonza Lorenzo aparece en el Quijote tan solo como la base real en que se apoya la creación de la dama del caballero andante, Dulcinea del Toboso, a partir del pasado enamoramiento del hidalgo por la labradora. No obstante, permanece en la novela como una referencia tanto para don Quijote como para su escudero. Para el caballero, lo que permite esa aproximación es la hermosura y la honestidad de una y otra, exacta- mente los atributos que Sancho Panza niega radicalmente en Aldonza para crear lo que puede llamarse una «antidulcinea». A la obsesión de don Quijote por desencantar a Dulcinea, parecería subyacer la de salvar la hermosura y honestidad de Aldonza Lorenzo. De hecho, cuando todos los elementos de la realidad son paulatinamente recuperados por el caballero en su vuelta a la cordura, la única excepción es Aldonza Lo- renzo, de quien Alonso Quijano sugestivamente nada dice antes de morir. ABSTRACT: Aldonza Lorenzo appears in Cervantes’s Don Quixote merely as the source that gave birth to the knight- errant’s imagined ladylove Dulcinea del Toboso ever since the Hidalgo fell in love with the farm girl in the past. However, Aldonza Lorenzo remains a reference to Don Quixote and his squire Sancho Panza throughout the novel. For the knight, beauty and honesty aproximate both girls, the real and the imagi- nary, while his squire denies those virtues in Aldonza creating what can be defined as an «anti-dulcinea».

  • Sobre Crítica Del «Quijote» La Razón Que Nutren La Cultura Y La Reflexión, La Voz De Alonso Quijano
    SOBRE CRÍTICA DEL QUIJOTE Maxime Chevalier Hace varias décadas que deja pendientes la crítica cervantina unas preguntas esenciales. Me refiero a la relación entre Cervantes y el protagonista del Qui• jote, por una parte, y, por otra parte, al concepto en que tenía Cervantes los libros y la cultura libresca. Sobre ambas preguntas quisiera explicarme hoy. La primera pregunta la planteó la edad romántica al afirmar que Cervan• tes mal había entendido la grandeza de su héroe. Tal concepto iba ya en germen en la conocida frase de la Estética hegeliana que define el asunto del Quijote como «oposición cómica entre un mundo ordenado según la razón [...] y un alma aislada», frase decisiva por señalar la pauta de la crítica deci• monónica, según la cual la novela cervantina es el conflicto entre prosaísmo y poesía, realidad e ideal, don Quijote y la sociedad. Al tomar este camino, se orientaban forzosamente los estudiosos a quienes competía la definición del protagonista hacia un elogio de la locura, un elogio de la locura radicalmente distinto del de Erasmo, que es elogio jocoso de la simpleza (stultitia).1 E iban a desembocar fatalmente en el dilema enunciado por Marthe Robert: de dos cosas la una, o bien abona el lector el buen sentido cervantino, hipótesis en la que don Quijote no pasa de ser un loco grotesco; o bien vemos en don Quijote una especie de santo escarnecido, y hemos de confesar que Cervantes no en• tendió su propia creación.2 Dilema finamente cincelado —y dilema inacepta• ble. Cualquier lector de buena fe en seguida advierte que dicho dilema no da cuenta de la realidad.

  • Span-300: Cervantes' Don Quixote
    SPAN-300: CERVANTES' DON QUIXOTE Lecture 21 - Don Quixote, Part II: Chapters LIV-LXX [November 17, 2009] Chapter 1. Improvisation, International Dimension and Influence of Art on Reality [00:00:00] Professor Roberto González Echevarría: There are three issues that I want to bring up as I begin today's lecture that will determine my general themes today: improvisation, the international dimension that the fiction of the novel acquires, and the influence of art or of literature on reality; those are the general topics. As we move to the conclusion of the Quixote, the issue of how to bring the novel to a close must have loomed large in Cervantes' mind. The plot of the novel is repetitive, more than sequential, with a vague quest of the protagonist to revive the age of chivalry, concretely, to participate in the jousts in Saragossa as goals, but there is no obvious or impending goal to the characters' wonderings. Although, one could argue, with Williamson, the critic I mentioned in the last lecture, that the disenchantment of Dulcinea is the main purpose of Don Quixote and Sancho set by Merlin's prophecy and involving the three thousand lashes that Sancho must apply to his bottom, and the interplay between the two about accomplishing that goal of disenchanting Dulcinea. Yet, even, this is no clear mission whose accomplishment would bring the novel to an end. What if Dulcinea is disenchanted? How could she be disenchanted? What would that mean? Would she and Don Quixote, then, marry? This is not mentioned by the protagonist, nor is marriage normally a desired end to courtly love.

    Don Quijote en el jazz italiano HANS CHRISTIAN HAGEDORN Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha Resumen La recepción de la obra maestra de Cervantes en la música italiana es un tema al que se han dedicado numerosos trabajos de investigación. Sin embargo, los estudios existentes se han centrado sobre todo en la ópera; escasa atención se ha prestado hasta ahora a otros géneros musicales. En este artículo nos ocupamos de las huellas que la novela cervantina ha dejado en el jazz italiano, concretamente en las últimas dos décadas, puesto que en Italia casi todos los ejemplos pertenecen al siglo XXI. El objetivo de nuestro estudio consiste en documentar, analizar y comparar varios ejemplos representativos de composiciones del jazz italiano que están inspiradas en esta obra cumbre de la literatura del Siglo de Oro español. Palabras clave: Don Quijote, música, jazz italiano, recepción Abstract The reception of Cervantes’ masterpiece in Italian music has been explored in a great number of works of research. However, articles on this subject matter have focused mainly on opera; other musical genres have, so far, received little attention. The present paper deals with the traces that the Cervantine novel has left in Italian jazz, in particular in the past two decades, since almost all examples of these jazz musicalizations of Don Quixote within Italy are found in the 21st century. The goal of our study is to document, analyse and compare several representative examples of Italian jazz compositions inspired by this masterwork of the Golden Age of Spanish literature. Key words: Don Quixote, music, Italian jazz, reception, influence 1.

Brussels PRINTED FOR MELINE, CANS A.ND C"., EOILEVARD DE WATERLOO, Zi. M DCCC XXXIX. MR V. un:ve PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION. To assist in the detection of spurious and the correction of inaccu- rate pedigrees, is one of the purposes of the present publication, in which respect the first Volume has been of acknowledged utility. The two together, it is hoped, will form a comprehensive and tole- rably correct Register of Pedigrees. It will be observed that some of the Mares which appeared in the last Supplement (whereof this is a republication and continua- tion) stand as they did there, i. e. without any additions to their produce since 1813 or 1814. — It has been ascertained that several of them were about that time sold by public auction, and as all attempts to trace them have failed, the probability is that they have either been converted to some other use, or been sent abroad. If any proof were wanting of the superiority of the English breed of horses over that of every other country, it might be found in the avidity with which they are sought by Foreigners. The exportation of them to Russia, France, Germany, etc. for the last five years has been so considerable, as to render it an object of some importance in a commercial point of view.

  • The Universal Quixote: Appropriations of a Literary Icon
    THE UNIVERSAL QUIXOTE: APPROPRIATIONS OF A LITERARY ICON A Dissertation by MARK DAVID MCGRAW Submitted to the Office of Graduate Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Eduardo Urbina Committee Members, Paul Christensen Juan Carlos Galdo Janet McCann Stephen Miller Head of Department, Steven Oberhelman August 2013 Major Subject: Hispanic Studies Copyright 2013 Mark David McGraw ABSTRACT First functioning as image based text and then as a widely illustrated book, the impact of the literary figure Don Quixote outgrew his textual limits to gain near- universal recognition as a cultural icon. Compared to the relatively small number of readers who have actually read both extensive volumes of Cervantes´ novel, an overwhelming percentage of people worldwide can identify an image of Don Quixote, especially if he is paired with his squire, Sancho Panza, and know something about the basic premise of the story. The problem that drives this paper is to determine how this Spanish 17th century literary character was able to gain near-univeral iconic recognizability. The methods used to research this phenomenon were to examine the character´s literary beginnings and iconization through translation and adaptation, film, textual and popular iconography, as well commercial, nationalist, revolutionary and institutional appropriations and determine what factors made him so useful for appropriation. The research concludes that the literary figure of Don Quixote has proven to be exceptionally receptive to readers´ appropriative requirements due to his paradoxical nature. The Quixote’s “cuerdo loco” or “wise fool” inherits paradoxy from Erasmus of Rotterdam’s In Praise of Folly.
