Here I have in mind Manfred Frank’s account of a hermeneutical and romantic criticism that accords permanent value and respect to individual persons without the bias that an explanatory language of verbal equivalency is ready to hand (Frank, Die Unhintergehbarkeit and“Einleitung”). The problem for today is arguably greater than in Schleiermacher’s time since the dominance of 5 Concluding his remarks on the first mode of translating, Schleiermacher writes: “These are the difficulties that beset this method and the imperfections essentially inherent in it.
We walk the finest of lines, he says, in our “attempts to keep the tone of the language foreign,” while recognizing that “everyone draws that line a little differently” (Lefevere 16; Schleiermacher 81). An overly nimble and inventive use of a translator’s language may stretch the language’s natural proclivities. Hence, the ideal way of translating, to take a reader back to the original author, requires a level of education, the development of an ear and feeling for language that is not to be found everywhere.
