Reading Nodier in Spain Translations of Mademoiselle de Marsan

Translations of Mademoiselle de Marsan were slow to appear in Spain, with the first one not published until 1924. This delay in relation to the date of publication of the original (1832), however, ensured that they were read by a wide audience accustomed to the codes of the Gothic genre. In fact, Calpe, Bruguera, and popular magazines (Jeromín, Revista literaria) published translations by Paulino Masip and Enrique Sordo, differing considerably in their strategies, which are analyzed in this article.
