Excellent- More about "Fausts" of Gerard de Nerval: Intertextuality, Translation, Adaptation
Gérard de Nervals French translations of Goethes Faust are essential to Franco-German cultural relations, but they have been mythologized. This book explores Nervals Faustian dramas, which reveal his French interpretations of Faust. It compares his convergences and divergences with Goethe to identify and compare Goethean and Nervalian Faustian paradigms, unravelling unknown facets of Nervalian aesthetics. It also investigates intercultural relations that influenced Nervals Faustian writing in France during this dynamic period, opening up new avenues for thinking about intertextuality, literary translation, and adaptation.

Gérard de Nervals French translations of Goethes iconic Faust play are pivotal in fostering Franco-German cultural understanding, yet they have often been mythologized. This comprehensive book delves into the intricate nuances of these translations, which remain the primary means of conveying Goethes unparalleled masterpiece in France. While Nervals translations may be less renowned than his own Faustian dramas, such as the Faust fragment (circa 1827), Nicolas Flamel (1831), and LImagier de Harlem (1851), they offer valuable insights into his interpretations of Faust and shed light on other French renditions of the play. By examining Nervals convergences and divergences with Goethe diachronically, the author aims to identify and compare what can be termed Goethean and Nervalian Faustian paradigms, unveiling hitherto unknown facets of Nervalian aesthetics. In addition to exploring the works of Goethe and Nerval, this book also investigates intercultural relations that influenced Nervals Faustian writing in France during a dynamic period. By examining the interplay between these two influential European writers, the book opens up fresh avenues for thinking about intertextuality, literary translation, and adaptation, making it a valuable contribution to the study of literature and cultural exchange.
