<h1><strong>Introduction</strong></h1>
<p><font color="#000000"><font face="Arial"><font size="2">When reading works in translation, doubts about their authenticity and faithfulness always stem. There are always “good” translations, and “bad” translations. Defining good and bad though, is difficult. What is more important; conveying the original author’s intent, sentiment and emotions, or transcribing as faithfully as possible and risking thematic loss. When the original work is older, issues with the age also arise. A translation of </font></font></font><font color="#000000"><font face="Arial"><font size="2"><i>Beowulf </i></font></font></font><font color="#000000"><font face="Arial"><font size="2">from the 1800’s will more than likely be syntactically different than one from the late 1900’s.</font></font></font></p>
<p><font color="#000000"><font face="Arial"><font size="2">Originally, I planned on researching how English translations of </font></font></font><font color="#000000"><font face="Arial"><font size="2"><i>The Library of Babel</i></font></font></font><font color="#000000"> </font><font color="#000000"><font face="Arial"><font size="2">differ with age, while also exploring how translators and readers alike assign the term Modernist to the story, even though the Modernist movement did not stretch to Argentina. As my research progressed, I realized the 35 year range between translations was not large enough to explore this concept. ~~~~~~ The translations of </font></font></font><font color="#000000"><font face="Arial"><font size="2"><i>The Library of Babel</i></font></font></font><font color="#000000"> </font><font color="#000000"><font face="Arial"><font size="2">by Kerrigan, Irby, and Hurley are similarly faithful (or unfaithful) to the original version by Borges, because they all contain interchangeable syntax, sentence structure, and sentiment</font></font></font></p>
