Thesis (Ph.D.)--Columbia University, 2009.

The present dissertation seeks to provoke new interest in a literary production that has been undeservedly neglected by challenging the widespread idea that translated literature does not deserve scholars' "serious" attention. This study centers its inquiry on translated literature, and focuses on Russian translations of Western chivalric romances, namely, "bad" translations that enjoyed great popularity in this country.

520 $a The present dissertation seeks to provoke new interest in a literary production that has been undeservedly neglected by challenging the widespread idea that translated literature does not deserve scholars' "serious" attention. This study centers its inquiry on translated literature, and focuses on Russian translations of Western chivalric romances, namely, "bad" translations that enjoyed great popularity in this country.
520 $a I confine myself to the study of a single story Bova, because its popularity in Russia has made it synonymous with this literary production, and because its longevity offers a unique occasion to follow the pseudomorphosis of a literary text that comes in contact with different audiences, across several centuries; under examination are some editions of the Russian Bova that appeared between the sixteenth and the twentieth centuries. Borrowing the Genettian terms "hypotext" and "hypertext," I will trace the alterations, adaptations, rewritings, reworkings, made by Russian translators (term to be intended lato sensu) to their Italian hypotext(s), with particular attention to Bova's lubok renditions by low-brow writers, like F. Isaev and A. Kassirov, who ensured Bova's fortune, as did high-brow literati, including G. Derzhavin, A. Radishev, A. Pushkin, A. Kol'tsov, I. Goncharov, F. Dostoevsky, A. Ostrovsky, and A. Remizov.
520 $a I approach the study from the perspective of the importance of the "copy" in Russian popular culture. The concept of imitation is deeply rooted in all civilizations but even more deeply in the Russian one, given---as I argue---the defining influence icon painting had on Russian culture. The study of Russian chivalric romance evolves into an investigation of literary devices of imitation, translation, rewriting, as well as of the ideas of tradition and innovation, the familiar and the unfamiliar, the copy and the original.
520 $a Western romances of chivalry "carried over" to Russia foreign ideas, which were promptly russified and adapted to the literary tastes of the particular audience they addressed. The way this imitative process allowed the development of an original Russian culture fully attests to the importance of the literary production I examine in this study.
