Recepción de la obra de Madame d’Aulnoy en España: traducciones y prólogos

Abstract

The literary career of Madame d'Aulnoy followed a rather complex course, both in France and abroad. In Spain, the first translation of one of her volumes dates back to 1838 and it’s not until the second half of the twentieth century that new editions and reprints seem to multiply. Press and trade journals, however, paid little attention to her books: only the analysis of the prologues allow a critical approach to such a controversial work. The aim of the first part of this paper is to establish the repertoire, as comprehensively as possible, of all the translations of Madame d’Aulnoy’s books published in Spain; then we focuse the study of the different prologues as a testimony of the critical reception in Spain of her works.
