Journal Title: Вісник Університету імені Альфреда Нобеля. Серія "Філологічні науки" - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 11
Abstract
I. Aksenov`s translation features of J. Webster’s play «The White Devil» are investigated in the article. Mysterious and even mystical component in the essence and narrative of the play is often connected by investigators with the complicated process of Webster’s comprehending of the historical events of that somber history of the Italian XVI century. The dramatist let them through his own consciousness in reconstructing not only the sensational history of Vittoria Accorambona but mostly studying a universal problem of man’s confrontation with evil, in himself, first of all. That proves the very title of the tragedy – «The White Devil» where «white devil» means «hypocrite», «traitor», «werewolf». In the case with I. Aksenov – the first Russian translator of «The White Devil» – the most interesting and important thing concerns the phenomenon of the «shifted text», the very fact of its imperfect translation that leads far beyond the limits of a mere philological studies
