D. G. Jones, poète, comparatiste et traducteur

The Ontario-born and educated Douglas Gordon (D.G.) Jones (1929-2016), poet, literary critic, editor, translator, and professor, taught at the Université de Sherbrooke for over thirty years. The author examines the way in which Jones brought together poetry, translation and comparatism in the context of, and as a response to the “crisis in comparative literature” in the 1960s. She points out that literary translation was a cornerstone of Jones’ conception of comparative Canadian literature, a model that subsequently inspired translation studies scholarship.
