2 e was one of my set texts. I was the same age as the main character in the novel, which was probably why it appealed to me. During my four-year BA (Hons) Spanish course, I wrote my dissertation on (Matthews, 1977) and read all novels and short stories. I was moved by her writing, which has a strong visual element to it, and I thought then that I would like to translate some of her work into English. Many years later, on becoming a professional translator, I decided to put this ambition into practice. I tried my hand at translating los demonios-known novel, which has always been a favourite of mine. I quickly discovered that the most difficult, and the most interesting and rewarding parts of the novel to translate were those sections of the text which contained strong visual imagery and striking comparisons. These were usually found in descriptive passages conveying the heightened emotions of Lafore excels as an author. I wanted to discover how other literary translators tackled the problem and went first to look at existing English translations of I was fascinated to discover how much the translations differed one from another. Eager for more translations to examine, I decided to ask translators to translate some of the original metaphors in and the PhD was born. First and foremost, I would like to thank my tutor and mentor, Dr Anna Milsom, who has been with me every step of the way during these five years in pursuit of the PhD. I have been privileged and most fortunate to have her as my advisor and my friend. I cannot thank her enough for the time she has spent, her ideas and contributions, her patience and expertise, and particularly her unfailing enthusiasm for translation research which could not fail to rub off on me. She has kept me motivated throughout, and I would not have progressed at all without her. She inspired me to start my PhD in the first place and has helped me over every stumbling block. 3 undertake the research in the first place, and has been unfailingly supportive and helpful. Any question I asked she responded straight away with practical help and solutions, despite being extremely busy herself. She has always been there for me. A thank you also goes to Dr Carolyn Hart, my excellent creative writing advisor, and to Cathy Larne who uncomplainingly smoothed out any administrative problems with such efficiency and panache. I have been extraordinarily lucky in the support given to me by the university.

Thank you all very much.

I must also thank my team of literary translators, who helped me in my research by translating original metaphors and commenting on them. They fell upon this task with such enthusiasm and good humour that it inspired me and gave me confidence in my own work, specifically because these translators are talented professionals with tough schedules and work deadlines. I am indebted to them. Finally, I would like to thank my husband Andy, who has been my constant support and quality control, and has had to put up with me being constantly glued to a laptop. Without him there would be no PhD. I extend this thanks to my children Joe, Amy and Alice, all of whom have looked after me instead of vice versa throughout this process and have all turned into excellent cooks.

Abstract

4 , it gives a clear indication that although literary translators vary exceedingly in their solutions, on the whole they prefer to translate original metaphors as literally as possible. Given that the essence of original metaphor is that it reflects the literary readers. e finding is applied to a new English translation of the first part of

A literal strategy has been

used to translate the original metaphors in the text, some of which have then been reviewed by an experienced editor of literary texts in English for a further insight into their acceptability. 5
