Abstract

As the founder of the Big House novel, Maria Edgeworth occupies a privileged place in Anglo-Irish studies. This article aims to analyze the translation of Edgeworth's tale "The Limerick Gloves" (Popular Tales 1804) from the viewpoint of Itamar Even-Zohar's polysystem theory and Gideon Toury's Descriptive Translation Studies (DTS). This story is one of Edgeworth's Rebellion narratives and is interestingly placed between Edgeworth's bestseller Castle Rackrent and her so-called Irish novels. Here we deal with the text published in Bibliothèque Britannique by the brothers Pictet, who had already versioned into French many stories penned by Edgeworth.
