O możliwościach „nowej” historii przekładu na przykładzie kilku dziewiętnastowiecznych tłumaczeń
ON THE PERSPECTIVES OFFERED BY A ‘NEW’ HISTORY OF TRANSLATION ON THE EXAMPLE OF SEVERAL 19TH CENTURY TRANSLATIONS

Summary/Abstract: To become a discipline in its own right, translation studies needs to explore its own history, not only in the traditional sense – the study of the impact of translations of masterpieces on Polish literature – but also in a more modern and eclectic one. This article tests one such newer approach, proposed by Lieven D’hulst, using several nineteenth-century translations of Hippolyte Taine’s works into Polish as examples, and it focuses on the translators and their choices, the context of their work, and the causes and effects of their translations. The aim of the study is to show that interdisciplinarity is an opportunity for translation studies and that the history of translation after the cultural turn can be a worthwhile area of research.
