Translating the mindset of a society – reacting to the provocative ideas conveyed in The Queen and I by Sue Townsend

Jerzy Adam Skwarzyński

Résumé


This article is an analysis of the survey which I conducted to obtain data necessary for my BA thesis. Its goal was to compare the reactions of the Britons and Poles to the provocative ideas presented in 1992 novel by Sue Townsend The Queen and I. The article includes comments provided by the participants, which were taken into consideration in the analysis. The results show that although the translator’s paratext is sometimes inevitable, although it may only fill the gaps in the readers’ knowledge – it will not provoke the same emotional reaction as the original.
