Identidades en la traducción de Beowulf por Seamus Heaney
Palabras clave:
Beowulf, poesía, ling¨üística, literatura, traducción, inglés antiguoResumen
El presente artículo parte de la hipótesis de que la traducción al inglés moderno de Beowulf realizada por Seamus Heaney refleja sus raíces políticas y culturales irlandesas. Su interpretación ha despertado el interés de los críticos por el uso del hibernoinglés y por abordar las tareas lingüísticas estructurales de una manera diferente por primera vez. A través de ejemplos específicos del poema original y la versión traducida, el presente artículo analiza las decisiones lingüísticas tomadas por Heaney en su traducción de la versión en inglés antiguo de Beowulf teniendo en cuenta su recepción crítica y las opiniones y experiencias personales del autor. Se pretenden encontrar las raíces de esta traducción en la educación de Heaney al brindar recuerdos específicos de su propia infancia en áreas rurales de Irlanda, miembros de la familia, política y sus alrededores. El artículo también compara esta traducción con las anteriores de la misma obra para proporcionar razones de la singularidad de la interpretación de Heaney y manifestar su importancia en la escena literaria de hoy.
