Tirant lo Blanc"Some books take a little longer than others to make their way into the world. But 494 years?" This was the question NY Times made some years ago.Tirant lo Blanc is a book that time has done justice to, a book that even the great Cervantes already knew how to value in his intervention in Don Quixote, and that was not valued enough for not being written in a main language, becoming the masterpiece of Valencian (or Catalan) literature for centuries.Anyone who cares to dispute his greatness can argue not with me but with Cervantes. In "Don Quixote," the Spanish novelist makes one of his characters say, "I swear to you, my friend, that when it comes to style, it's the best book in the world."This classic novel was published for the first time in the Catalan language in Valencia in 1490. Its main author was Joanot Martorell, a gentleman who worked as a writer. After his death, the last quarter of the story was completed by Marti Joan de Galba, another gentleman. Martorell was primarily a combat knight who would have challenged anyone who dared to call him a man of letters to a duel (on horseback, with a spear and two swords). For a gentleman, that offensive phrase was reserved for lawyers and notaries, three of whom hang in the first 100 pages of this 600-page story. Featuring chivalric adventures, combat, romance and political manipulation, its scenes span from England to Spain and the outposts of the Byzantine empire around the Mediterranean.The fascination, the legend, the romance and the action are not lacking in a book that would mark the way to other works such as Don Quixote and that does not clash with other chivalric books such as the legends of King Arthur.In this edition we have proceeded to translate the original version by Joanot Martorell and Joan de Galba into English to make the work more universal.

New interpretations of the text and context of the 15c Catalan romance telling of Tirant's heroic exploits and adventures in love. In Don Quixote, Cervantes describes Tirant lo Blanc as `the best book in the world'. A remarkable work of fiction, probably the finest to appear anywhere in Europe before Rabelais, it has recently become increasinglyfamiliar to English readers. However, it is a problematic book to categorise: on the one hand, it is an exciting story of Tirant's military exploits and his love for the Princess Carmesina; on the other, it is an encyclopedic work treating many aspects of late fifteenth-century society in vivid detail. The essays collected in this volume offer a variety of fresh interpretations. They cover a vast amount of material, from questions of authorship toclose readings of particular episodes, bringing a varietyof new interpretations to bear.

Translated by David H. Rosenthal Here is a recovered Renaissance classic, a Catalan novel of chivalry done into English for the first time by a gifted poet and translator. Cervantes singles out Tirant lo Blanc for very special praise in Don Quixote—in the scene in which the don’s friends, eager to save his sanity, are making a bonfire of the romances of chivalry which have constituted his sole intellectual and spiritual nourishments. Cervantes makes a pointed exception of this work, putting into the mouth of a character the suggestion that the book deserves to remain in print throughout the ages. So it has—and now it can be read in David H. Rosenthal’s lively English. Tirant lo Blanc presents the life of the Renaissance nobility: politics, lovemaking, and war. The hero participates in all these activities with a great deal of dash and good humor, there is much excellent conversation along the way, and by the time the story has come to its satisfying conclusion, the modern reader is convinced that life was quite as complex 500 years ago as it is today—and, for the European nobility, perhaps a good deal more entertaining.

The articles in this volume highlight the fact that the chivalric novel Tirant lo Blanc – written in Valencia by Joanot Martorell in the 15th century and translated into Italian in the 16th century – keeps being relevant in both the Italian and the Iberian Peninsulas, so closely related in past and present. The knight Joanot Martorell wrote a classic of universal literature despite the fact that he belonged to a minority culture. Nowadays, after having been translated into numerous languages, it is studied in many European and American universities and elicits great interest among researchers, as proven by the contributions included in this book.

"First published in 1490, Tirant lo Blanc has been called 'the best book in the world' by no less than Miguel de Cervantes. A spicy, brutally realistic novel of knights and ladies of medieval times, this book was written in Catalan, translated into Spanish in 1511 in an abridged form, into Italian in the 16th century, into French in the 17th century, and did not make an appearance in English until late in the 20th century." --

Iberian and Translation Studies: Literary Contact Zones offers fertile reflection on the dynamics of linguistic diversity and multifaceted literary translation flows taking place across the Iberian Peninsula. Drawing on cutting-edge theoretical perspectives and on a historically diverse body of case studies, the volume's sixteen chapters explore the key role of translation in shaping interliterary relations and cultural identities within Iberia. Mary Louise Pratt's contact zone metaphor is used as an overarching concept to approach Iberia as a translation(al) space where languages and cultural systems (Basque, Catalan, Galician, Portuguese, and Spanish) set up relationships either of conflict, coercion, and resistance or of collaboration, hospitality, and solidarity. In bringing together a variety of essays by multilingual scholars whose conceptual and empirical research places itself at the intersection of translation and literary Iberian studies, the book opens up a new interdisciplinary field of enquiry: Iberian translation studies. This allows for a renewed study of canonical authors such as Joan Maragall, Fernando Pessoa, Camilo José Cela, and Bernardo Atxaga, and calls attention to emerging bilingual contemporary voices. In addition to addressing understudied genres (the entremez and the picaresque novel) and the phenomena of self-translation, indirect translation, and collaborative translation, the book provides fresh insights into Iberian cultural agents, mediators, and institutions.
