The Translation into Spanish of “Scenes of Spain” in Traveller in Time (1935) by Mairin Mitchell

Abstract

This translation offers the Spanish version of “Scenes of Spain”, the fifth chapter in Traveller in Time (1935) by the «London-Irish» journalist, writer and critic Mairin Mitchell. An original view of Spain through imaginary letters of her fictional protagonist, Colm MacColgan, it is mixed with Mitchell’s own clever observations and proves not only Mitchell’s love for the country, but her interest in meticulously tracing Irish historical and cultural aspects in Spain. This study includes an introduction with Mitchell’s profile and works, the original English text and the Spanish translation with notes.
