AB Given the relevance of textual interpretation for the task of the literary translator, it couldbe argued that such an ambiguous work like Henry James’s The Turn of the Screw isespecially problematic. The translator of the work must convey the same message as theoriginal author intended, as well as the style characterizing the source; however, in thecase of this nineteenth-century classic this message is not any clearer than the tale’s natureitself. Nearly a century of debate on the reliability of the novella’s narrator has not yieldeddefinitive conclusions. The present graduate thesis undertakes the comparison of twoSpanish translations of James’s work so as to assess the extent to which the translator’spersonal interpretations mould their respective versions by making them more univocalthan the source text; or if, conversely, being aware of the narrative’s ambiguity, thetranslators succeed in retaining the original’s deliberate obscurity.
