On the edge of the world and on the borders of narrative: Jane Urquhart's The 'Little Flowers of Madame de Montespan' (Les 'petites fleurs de Madame de Montespan')
N. Cote, On the edge of the world and on the borders of narrative: Jane Urquhart's The 'Little Flowers of Madame de Montespan' (Les 'petites fleurs de Madame de Montespan'), META, 45(1), 2000, pp. 91-104
Jane Urquhart's The Little Flowers of Madame de Montespan is an interesting
collection of poems partly because these poem paintings are a diegesis. My
approach to translation here is a waltz hesitation between description and
narration between the static and the dynamic.
