Description: This volume contains a selection of papers presented at an international meeting on the works of Kelemen Mikes which was held in Budapest in October 2011. Mikes was one of the most distinguished authors of the Enlightenment period in Hungary. His main work, the Letters from Turkey is a remarkable example of the 18th century European epistolary fiction. His works include the Hungarian translations of twelve French texts, for example the novels of Mme de Gomez and other important works on ethics, Biblical exegesis, historiography and theology. The volume focuses on the phenomenology of the relations of a writer living in exile with the foreign culture. The articles show how the bi- or multinational question-answer game transformed into intertextuality and how the intercultural reception interests have been integrated into it. The language of Mikes shows a wide range of the social and functional versions; therefore it is possible to examine the linguistic and stylistic aspects of his texts as well as set them in a theoretical framework for the analysis of the translations.
Notes: Papers presented at an international conference held at Budapest in October 2011.
