Abstract

Zenobia Camprubí has gone down in history by the fact of being Rabindranath Tagore’s quintessential translator. However, in collaboration with Juan Ramón Jiménez, they translated works from dozens of English and French writers, which were, often, signed only by Juan Ramón Jiménez. The purpose of this work is to study different bibliographical sources in order to establish, as far as possible, a conclusion within the couple’s translation method and the limits around the parts of the task made by each one. Moreover, the other aim of the work is to analyze the translation strategies carried out by the couple in Gitanjali by Tagore, which is, at the same time, a self-translation from Bengali to English. In this way, by also analyzing the style in the translations, it is intended to prove the translation method that the couple followed: Camprubí used to do the first raw translation and then Jiménez revised it and corrected the style. This work’s methodology is the study of reliable bibliographic and historiographic sources as well as the analysis of English and Spanish versions of Gitanjali. As a result, there have been stablished different translation strategies recurrent in the couple’s work. Even if it has not been possible to delimit which part of the task was made by Camprubí and which one by Jiménez, translations are concluded as a co-authorship.
