Cultural Translation, Welsh Literature, Geoffrey of Monmouth, National IdentityResumen
This article seeks a comparative reading of Geoffrey of Monmouth’s The Life of Merlin and one of the poems contained within the medieval Welsh manuscript Red Book of Hergest, in an attempt to identify aspects of cultural translation as defined by Neumann (2013). During the first decades of the 12th century, the Norman invasion over Great Britain established a cultural domination, the consequences of which would be felt for centuries, and during which Wesh culture suffered repression and attempts at erasure. In being so, this study seeks to debate the in-between location of Monmouth’s work, as a text written by an author who was connected to Wales and also inserted into the culture of Norman aristocracy. This analysis discusses traits of cultural translation within Monmouth’s narrative, verifying the possible existence of bridges between Welsh and Norman cultures, while also debating the expression of Welsh identity through texts written in other languages, English among them.
