Abstract

This is a transversal reading of the novel and its Italian translations through the lens of nouns expressing emotions. To this aim, a parallel corpus was compiled, comprising the source text and 11 translations. After identifying the types and range of English emotion-nouns and commenting on their significance in the novel, Italian equivalents are analysed, comparing them against the source text. Such a quantitative study has allowed me to identify patterns and anomalies in how emotion-nouns are used by individual translators. Emotional fingerprints of the source text and of each translation have been created to provide a visual representation of their idiosyncrasies.
