The Translation Paradigm in H.D.’s Writing by Antoine Cazé

“…Un bref état des lieux de la publication des œuvres de H.D. en français montre tout d’abord comment la dispersion éditoriale empêche une perception cohérente du rôle qu’a joué l’écrivain dans la construction du modernisme anglo-américain. L’hypothèse est ensuite avancée du rôle central d’un “paradigme traductif ” déjà présent dans l’écriture même de H.D., paradigme qui lui permet notamment de s’approprier un éthos grec par une “transmutation déviante” renforçant la position liminale de l’écrivain au sein du modernisme. …”
