Abstract

In late 1834 Georg Büchner began writing his first play, Dantons Tod. During the last ten years of the Francoist dictatorship, Spanish and Catalan translations of Büchner’s play were published by Aguilar (1966), G. del Toro (1973) and Edicions Robrenyo (1976). This article analyzes the censors’ files kept by the Archivo General de la Administración in connection with these translations and examines the repercussions of any censorship brought to bear on them. Particular attention is paid to Emilio Romero’s controversial translation, which “manipulated” or “adapted” the text to the extent that the translator is featured as coauthor in the edition published by G. de Toro.

Keywords: Danton; Büchner; censorship; translation.
