Accompanied by: "To Arne Zettersten on the occasion of his 60th
anniversary." (12 p.; 21 cm).
On the occasion of Hans Christian Andersen's bicentenary the theme
chosen was Hans Christian Andersen between Children's Literature
and Adult Literature. At previous conferences focus had been
exclusively on Andersen as poet and writer for adults, in which
capacity he wrote novels, theatre plays, poems, and travel books,
just as his fairy tales and stories were meant for all ages. But
faced with the world-wide celebration in 2005 it seemed proper to
include the child aspects of his works in the scholarly discussion.
In its wide range of themes dealing with both adult and child
aspects of Andersen's texts, this volume, consisting of papers read
at the Odense Conference in 2005, endeavours to do justice to the
whole of Andersen, whose immortal genius has a message for young
and old all over the world.
For the first time ever in English, this book presents a wide range
of approaches to Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) and his works,
thereby providing a source of inspiration for further studies and a
more extensive knowledge of the world-famous author. Scholars from
15 countries contribute to this volume. The main focus of the
contributions is on Andersen in his time, Andersen influences,
Andersen in terms of cultural history -- including aspects of
literary and social history, genre, linguistics, translation and
style. This book is a key to the world of Andersen studies and a
key to Andersen's world.
This is a study of the major English translations of Hans Christian
Andersen's Tales and Stories, and of the people who made them. The
basic assumption is that the translations are coloured by the
personality and background of individual translators, as well as by
the general literary climate around them. Therefore, the moment
Andersen came to be seen as a children's writer pure and simple,
important parts of his message and significant aspects of his style
were ignored. The author explores this process, at the same time
demonstrating the interdependence of the English translations, many
of which prove to have been made with little or no use of the
original Danish text.
