Abstract

This book compares German translations of Samuel Richardson’s novel Clarissa (1747-48). It traces the different stages of the translation process, from the original via French mediation to the German translation and looks into the working methods and conditions of the translators in question. The study includes references to theoretical and sociological aspects of literary life in the anglophile 18th century.
