Innovators and traditionalists. Self-positioning strategies in paratexts by Swedish translators of the classics

Translation is an integral part of Swedish literature. Translations of the classics are but a small part of the national literary, and translational, output, but they do form an uninteruption tradition up to this day from the 1590s when the first Swedish translation of a classic text was published in Rostock. Over the centuries translations of varying quality and orientation have been produced of various source texts by trans-lators who sometimes are anonymous, sometimes otherwise unknown, sometimes habitual translators not only from the classical languages but also from various modern ones, sometimes authors with translation being part of their literary activities.

This paper centres on the latter group of translators. More often than not these translators work with literary texts. During the first decades of the 19th century author-translators of the classics working with Latin and to a lesser extend Greek poetry were particularly involved in the contemporary literary debates on proper Swedish poetics and metrics, on what innovations and/or foreign influences should be allowed into the national tradition.
