Editor's Note:
The hallmark technique of Jane Austens mature writing - known as free indirect discourse (FID) - is responsible for what has become known as the -inward interest- of Austens writing. In "Persuasion," FID is used extensively to represent the complex life of the heroines mind as she converses with herself. Austens posthumously published -late- novel "Persuasion" was first translated into French in 1821 by Isabelle de Montolieu as "La Famille Elliot, ou lancienne inclination." The present study focuses on the question of how Montolieu handled FID in her French translation: At the time she was translating "Persuasion" into French, FID did not exist as a formal grammatical category. Neither did Montolieu have the possibility of seeking a model in the works of Flaubert - whose own extensive and innovative use of FID is comparable to Austens - as he was writing much later in the century. Previous translation studies have completely ignored this very crucial aspect of this translation. The author adopts a cross-disciplinary approach encompassing the history of publication, Jane Austen studies, translation studies, and narratology. This book tests the applicability of the conceptual framework of narratology within the field of Translation Studies. The author identifies key analytical concepts from the field of narratology and applies them to Montolieus translation with the aim of revealing what happened to Austens FID when "Persuasion" was first translated into French."
