Fabian, Bernhard. “The Reception of British Writers on the Continent: Principles and Problems.” Hungarian Journal of English and American Studies, 13, nos. 1-2 (Spring-Fall 2007 [2008]), 7-22. [After a valuable critique of “reception studies,” Fabian focuses on the republication of English texts (in roughly 10,000 editions in German alone from 1680-1800). He notes, “in 1700 an educated person could do without English, whereas in 1800 it was essential to him”--which relates to how so many translations of English authors were from previous French translations (as into Germany) or German translations (for languages like Russian and Hungarian further into Europe) and to relative failure at mid-century of the first English-language publications. Fabian identifies much that is not yet known about the history of British books and the agents and agencies involved in their alteration, editing, translating, selling, and consumption on the Continent. He calls for studies of translations (what’s cut or added?), mediators, publishing practices (some European houses like that of Philipp Erasmus Reich in Leipzig went to London to seek exclusive translation rights [Richardson was so approached] or simply sent agents to discover what needed to be translated). He concludes by recommending attention to such frames of reference as the image of Britain created and transmitted outside Britain and the needs of the country that put English texts to use. Fabian stresses that “Reception processes have to be approached from the receiving end”; works are introduced that fill “gaps” and complete and help redirect the culture in desired ways, as to modernize itself. This point is very well exemplified in the next item in the volume, Aladár Sarbu’s “Hungarian Literary Nationalism and English Authors of the Eighteenth Century” (13:23-34) which shows how Hungarian efforts to modernize and civilize the country led to a translation campaign through the 19th century (Sarbu’s principal example is Hugh Blair’s Lectures on Rhetoric, translated by János Kis in 1838). These and other essays appear in a special issue devoted to reception issues for the long eighteenth century, with guest editors Gabriella Hartvig and Gabriella Vöo, who provide an introduction (214 pp. with summaries).]
