Self-exoticism and Intertextuality in “House of Mist” by María Luisa Bombal
Keywords:
Exoticism, Intertext, Translation, Rewriting, NovelAbstract
María Luisa Bombal’s La última niebla, published in 1935, was so famous in Chile that Bombal’s North American husband, Rafael de Saint Phalle, urged her to translate it into English years after its publication and after Bombal had mostly given up writing. House of Mist consciously re-elaborates traits of Bombal’s early writings to depict a picturesque, poetic, passionate and exotic portrait of South American women’s life and adapts them to the genre of Victorian novel.
