    PASSION, DUTY, AND FAME: WOMEN TRANSLATORS OF CUORE INTO ROMANIAN (1893-1936) PAIXÃO, DEVER E FAMA: AS TRADUTORAS DE CUORE PARA O ROMENO (1893-1936) Iulia COSMA* West University of Timișoara Timișoara, Romania University of Padua Padua, Padua, Italy Abstract: The second half of the nineteenth century saw a proliferation of translations from romance languages into Romanian as a consequence of the economic and cultural development of the Romanian society. In this context, 1893 saw the publication of the first Romanian translation of De Amicis’s Cuore (Heart): An Italian Schoolboy’s Journal, by Clelia Bruzzesi (1836-1903). The twentieth century brought five other versions, two of them signed by women translators: Sofia Nădejde (1856-1946) in 1916 and Mia Frollo (1885-1962) in 1936. Until recently, 59 Cuore was part of the primary school curriculum in Romania, so the text left a mark on the cultural history of the country. This paper aims to raise awareness of the often neglected translation activity of women and to reveal Bruzzesi, Nădejde and Frollo’s place in society as well their motivations and the public reception of their translations. Keywords: Women translators. De Amicis’s Cuore (Heart): An Italian Schoolboy’s Journal in Romanian translation. Literary translation into Romanian. Retranslation. History of literary translation. Resumo: A segunda metade do século XIX viu uma proliferação de traduções de línguas românicas para o romeno como consequência do desenvolvimento econômico e cultural da sociedade romena. Neste contexto, em 1893 foi publicada a primeira tradução romena de Cuore (Heart): An Italian Schoolboy’s Journal [Coração: Diário de um aluno], de Amici, feita por Clelia Bruzzesi (1836-1903).

In a brief article of 1993, Lucian Boia outlined the destinies of some Western models which had come in contact with the Romanian culture; a Belgian model, seen as an appendage of the French, an English one, which in his opinion was completely marginal, and others that enjoyed a more or less brilliant fate (German, Italian, etc.) 1. Please note that each of the topics mentioned above enjoyed special attention in Romanian historiography; see for instance the studies authored by Aurel Filimon, Gheorghe Platon and even my own, dedicated to the Romanian- Belgian relations; those by Dan Berindei, Pompiliu Eliade, Nicolae Iorga and Nicolae Isar for the French case; those by Zigu Ornea regarding the German influences on the political and literary thought of the Junimea group; those by Eugen Denize and George L ăzărescu, on the cultural and political interferences between Italy and Romania, etc.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 ABSTRACT The subject of this thesis is the development of a literary culture among the Romanians in the period 1829-1890; the effect of this development on the Romanians’ drive towards social modernization and political independence; and the way in which the idea of literature (as both concept and concrete manifestation) and the idea of the Romanian nation shaped each other. I concentrate on developments in the Principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia (which united in 1859, later to form the old Kingdom of Romania). I begin with an outline of general social and political change in the Principalities in the period to 1829, followed by an analysis of the image of the Romanians in European public opinion, with particular reference to the state of cultural institutions (literacy, literary activity, education, publishing, individual groups) and their evaluation for political purposes.
