Description
Analyzes the translation techniques used in the Spanish version of MilT and RvT made between 1949 and 1956 by Chilean scholar, theater director and translator Jorge Elliott Garcia. Claims that the purpose of this verse translation was to increase the readership of CT by offering a more poetic rendering, aiming at providing an effect equivalent to that of the original.
