August 3[edit]

Spanish translation of D. H. Lawrence's The Plumed Serpent[edit]

Hello, I'd like to know whether D. H. Lawrence's The Plumed Serpent was translated into Spanish, and if so when the Spanish translation was published and who the translator was. Bibliographic details (or a link to a library record listing them) would be great. FreeKnowledgeCreator (talk) 11:13, 3 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, that's helpful, but that's a 2009 version of the novel. Surely it was published in Spanish before then? Searching the Advanced Book Exchange, the oldest Spanish copy listed was published in 1940. I don't know whether that was the first Spanish edition, however.

You can read the 2009 translation at [3]. 2A00:23C5:CDA6:4900:DCD9:81FA:D378:8463 (talk) 12:50, 3 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In fact the 2009 translation appears to be a reprint of a 2000 translation. 2A00:23C5:CDA6:4900:DCD9:81FA:D378:8463 (talk) 12:53, 3 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
