“…No hay condiciones más favorables para el análisis editorial y literario, como se ve en una notable serie de estudios (Willson Gordon, 2009;Southworth, 2010;Battershill, 2018). Como propone Sara Blair (2004), el grupo de Bloomsbury puede verse como un circuito de producción y de intercambio de ideas y obras, un gran mapa geocultural del modernismo, visión que alimenta el proyecto digital Modernist Archives Publishing Project (MAPP), cuyos objetivos se reúnen en el volumen colectivo de Battershill, Southworth, Staveley, et al, Scholarly Adventures in Digital Humanities. Making the Modernist Archives Publishing Project (2017).…”

Lives. Biography and Autobiography at Leonard and Virginia Woolf's Hogarth Press (2018), una notable historiografía del modernismo a partir del mítico sello editorial fundado por el matrimonio de escritores Woolf, plantea una pregunta retórica acerca de la determinación editorial de Virginia Woolf, convertida en productora de sus propios libros: "So why a publisher of one's own?" (2018: 11). La respuesta, formulada a partir de una nueva pregunta, es también retórica: "What were the alternatives?" (2018: 11). Virginia Woolf, defensora de un cuarto propio para el ejercicio creador y la profesionalización literaria, se embarcó junto a su esposo, Leonard Woolf, en la fundación de Hogarth Press, una pequeña editorial que logró alcanzar cerca de 500 títulos entre 1917 y 1946. A partir de 1946, pasó a manos de Chatto & Windus, 2 cuando ya contaba con agentes, distribuidores y relaciones por todo el mundo, así como con un reconocido catálogo, expresivo contrapunto de las inquietudes del célebre círculo de Bloomsbury. Frente al desolador panorama que determina habitualmente la investigación de la historia editorial, el archivo de Hogarth Press se conserva como un productivo muestrario de la actividad del sello a través de una nutrida correspondencia; 1 Este monográfico es el resultado de los trabajos realizados en el marco del Proyecto de Investigación "Prácticas culturales y esfera pública: Editoras españolas y latinoamericanas contemporáneas" (FFI2016-76037-P). 2 En 1946 Leonard Woolf se separa de su socio John Lehmann, a quien Virginia Woolf había traspasado su parte en la empresa en 1938. Vinculado a Hogarth Press como asesor, Leonard se convierte en editor de Virginia Woolf póstuma y de sus propios volúmenes autobiográficos (Battershill, 2018: 174).

“…4 Laura Marcus's study of the Hogarth Press as a conduit for the internationalist dimensions of modernist culture has been instrumental in showing how Woolf's reception in Europe was driven by complex negotiations with translators and publishers to steer her entry onto foreign markets. 5 As we rethink the cultural geography associated with the Bloomsbury group beyond its 'local world', 6 then from an Anglo-German translational perspective it is Berlin, Hamburg, Frankfurt and Leipzig which are also pivotal in the dissemination of British modernist production in the 1920s and 1930s.…”

Bloomsbury in Berlin: Vita Sackville-West's Seducers in Ecuador on the German Literary Marketplace

Vita Sackville-West is now best known as Virginia Woolf's muse, as a horticultural journalist, and as the creator of Sissinghurst's gardens. Yet during her lifetime, her works were translated energetically into German and she was cast in some German literary journals as a leading figure on the European interwar and post-war literary scene. This essay analyses how Sackville-West's short story, Seducers in Ecuador (Hogarth Press, 1924), made its 1929 debut in Germany as ‘Verführer in Ecuador’ in the journal Die neue Rundschau [The New Review]. This offers an interesting case study not only of how a work could change its medium through translation – from a free-standing novella to a short story in a literary journal – but also its context through the new set of juxtapositions and cultural associations it acquired by being absorbed into German periodical culture. The function of small magazines in promoting new ideas or forms of art has been well researched in the context of British modernist writing, but little attention has been paid to the reception of translations of such work in European journals. Yet they often functioned as important promotional conduits and were influential in shaping how authors gained footholds in foreign markets.
