Voraussetzungen / Organisatorisches: Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832) was a Scottish writer whose historical novels would take the nineteenth century by storm. A highly political – and in translation highly politicised – writer, his powerful representations of the heroes and victims of history evoked sympathy amongst those seeking to give a voice to national particularism. This seminar, timed to coincide with the 250th anniversary of his birth, will investigate how one central work by Scott, his runaway bestseller Waverley (1814), was translated into German and other languages, by whom and with which agenda in mind. We will also be investigating Scott’s own contribution to translation in the Romantic period, by looking at his English versions of Goethe and German ballads. Students should purchase the set text in this edition: Walter Scott, Waverley, ed. Peter Garside and with an introduction by Ian Duncan (London: Penguin Classics, 2011), ISBN: 978-0-140-43660-0
