By the mid-seventeenth century the effects of the Counter-Reformation, the conflict between absolute monarchy and the developing Parliamentary system, and the widening of

the gap between traditional Christian Humanism and science had all led to radical changes in the theory of literature and hence to the role of translation.

In their attempt to find models, writers turned to ancient masters,

seeing in imitation a means of instruction.

Descartes’ (1596-1650) attempts to formulate a method of inductive reasoning

were mirrored in the preoccupation of literary critics to formulate rules of aesthetic production.

Translation of the classics increased considerably in France between 1625 and 1660, the great age of

turn enthusiastically translated into English.

The emphasis on rules and models in Augustan England did not

French classicism and of the flowering of French theatre based on the Aristotelian unities.

French writers and theorists were in

mean, however, that art was perceived as a merely imitative skill.

Underlying Dryden’s and Pope’s concept of translation is another element, beyond the problem of the debate between overfaithfulness

of Nature, the inborn ability that transcended definition and yet prescribed the finished form.

He sees it as the translator’s duty to his source text to extract what he perceives as the essential core of

the work and to reproduce or recreate the work in the target language.

Art was the ordering in a harmonious and elegant manner

and looseness: the whole question of the moral duty of the translator to his contemporary reader.

To exemplify the particular approach Pope brought to his version of Homer,

but underwent a series of significant changes as the search to codify and describe the processes of literary creation altered.

The eighteenth-century concept of the translator as painter or imitator with a moral duty both to his original subject and to his receiver was widespread,

phases are recurrent all may be found taking place within the same language system at the same time.

Goethe (1749-1832) argued that every literature must pass through three phases of translation, although as the

compare the following passage to Chapman’s version of an episode from Book 22 of The Iliad.

The second mode is that of appropriation through substitution and reproduction, where the translator absorbs the sense of a foreign work but reproduces it in his own terms, and here Goethe cites

Wieland and the French tradition of translating (a tradition much disparaged by German theorists).

The first epoch ‘acquaints us with foreign countries

‘manner’ which fuses the uniqueness of the original with a new form and structure. Goethe cites the work of Voss, who translated Homer, as an example of a translator who had achieved this prized third level.

The third mode, which he considers the highest, is one which aims for perfect identity between the SL text and the TL text, and the achieving of this mode must be through the creation of a new

on our own terms’, and Goethe cites Luther’s German Bible as an example of this tendency.

The problem with such an approach is

led to exaggeratedly loose translations, although he agrees that part of the translator’s duty is to clarify obscurities in the original, even where this entails omission or addition.

Goethe is arguing for both a new concept of ‘originality’ in translation,

together with a vision of universal deep structures that the translator should strive to meet.

Tytler reacts against Dryden’s influence, maintaining that the concept of ‘paraphrase’ had

that it is moving dangerously close to a theory of untranslatability.

He uses the standard eighteenth-century comparison of the translator/painter,

soul or nature of the work of art.

The translator must strive to ‘adopt the very soul of his

but with a difference, arguing that the translator cannot use the same colours as the original, but is nevertheless required to give his picture ‘the same force and effect’.

Translation theory from Dryden to Tytler, then, is concerned with the problem of recreating an essential spirit,

author, which must speak through his own organs’.

In this case, specific active molecules on the surface of the

the substance that induced their formation.

Antibodies are protein molecules produced by animals,

in response to a foreign substance, or antigen.
