- W2484125588 abstract "In Rhys’s short story ‘Till September Petronella’, the narrator, attempting to describe the room of a French girl in London, likens it to a scene from a ‘romantic’ novel ‘translated from French or German or Hungarian or something — because few of the English ones have the exact feeling I mean’.1 English is inadequate to express the girl’s exilic state, which can only be alluded to via the invocation of an explicitly translational English which bears the marks of its ‘French or German or Hungarian’ origins. This fleeting reference to translation might seem casual, but it is significant to Rhys’s work, whose protagonists — notoriously ‘unhoused’, of ambiguous nationality, forever occupying the temporary and liminal spaces of the metropolis2 — are expressed in a language and fictional style that is subtly but pervasively translational, not quite English, unsettled and unsettling. In the last chapter, we saw how Mansfield develops a translational style that corresponds to a thematic exploration of national identity as performance rather than essence (a perspective that is inextricably linked to the cultural complexity of her own migrant colonial identity). Mansfield’s texts remain ambivalent towards such interlingual mixing, however, associating it, in ‘Je ne parle pas francais’ with the corrupt and distorting polyglot narration of Raoul Duquette." @default.
