“INSIGHTS INTO DICKENS’S “MARTIN CHUZZLEWIT” AND ITS TRANSLATIONS” (with reference to Armenian and Russian Translations)

Abstract

The research outlines the theoretical and practical framework of the translation of Bildungsroman - a special type of novel of “education” or “formation”. Based on the theorists’ assumptions that Dickens’s verbal creativity illustrated Bildungsroman, the article focused on the art of translation through the prism of a comparative research of Dickens’s “Martin Chuzzlewit” and its Russian and Armenian translations. The "educational" and "didactic" elements of the novel were widely represented in the work, which were transformed and interpreted in other socio-cultural realities through translations.
