Abstract

In a relatively recent article on retranslation, Milton & Torres (2003) remark on the scant theoretical attention devoted to this phenomenon, despite it being a current practice and a constituent part of the complex web of any literary system. Grounded on refl ections by Goethe, Berman and Gambier on retranslation, this article seeks to suggest ways of comprehending the relation between criticism and poetical retranslation by means of a critique of poetical retranslations made in Brazil.
