Last Tuesday we enjoyed an unforgettable Joanot Martorell Lecture 2025! ✨
The event was a great success: fantastic attendance, rich discussion, and a truly outstanding lecture by Professor Jacqueline Hurtley (University of Barcelona), who—as always—was superb. 👏📚
Under the title “Translation or transcreation? English-language authors, Catalan translators and publishers, 1920–1938”, we explored how the works of George Eliot, Joseph Conrad, and Virginia Woolf were translated—and often reimagined—into Catalan during a vibrant cultural moment, thanks to authors such as Josep Carner, C.A. Jordana, and Josep M. Millàs-Raurell. 🌍💬
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to such an engaging evening—and special thanks to the Instituto Cervantes London for their collaboration in making this event possible. 🙌✨
