In this article, we look into the production and reception in anglophone North America of the English translations of three French-Canadian novels published in the 19th century: L’Influence d’un livre (Aubert de Gaspé, fils, 1837), Les Anciens Canadiens (Aubert de Gaspé, père, 1863), and Angéline de Montbrun (Conan, 1884). These novels have been translated (or retranslated) since the introduction of the Official Languages Act in 1969 and the creation of the translation grants by the Canada Council for the Arts. These events, along with an increase in studies and publications by Québécois literature scholars, fuelled a renewed interest for the translation of French-Canadian literature. In this article, we will examine the production of the translations Angéline de Montbrun (1974) and The Influence of a Book (1993), as well as the retranslation Canadians of Old (1996), with a focus on their funding, i.e. the grants awarded by funding agencies. Our goal is to show that by reducing the financial risks for publishing houses, the different types of funding enabled an increase in visibility for translations of French-Canadian literature.
