Daha önce folklorik korku hikâyeleri derlemesini (Infernaliana) okuduğum Nodier, İskoçya’yı bir baştan öbür başa gezip dolaştıktan sonra, Walter Scott’tan da esinlenerek bu masalı yazmış; herhalde Kelt folkloruna dayanıyordur diye tahmin ediyorum. Romantik yazının bütün özelliklerini yansıtan, bir köylü kadına tutulan doğaüstü bir varlığın platonik aşkını konu alan, İskoçya’nın muhteşem doğasının da betimlendiği şiirsel bir masal bu. Ancak odakta fantastik öğelerden çok, kadının iç çatışmaları var; bir de Ada’nın Hıristiyanlaştırılmadan önceki geçmişi. 1949’a göre iyi bir çeviri olsa da, çok baskı hatası yapılmış. Masalın orijinal adı olan “Trilby, ou le Lutin d’Argail, conte fantastique”’de geçen “lutin” kelimesinin karşılığı cin veya peri olmalıymış; yani çeviride geçen tüm “şeytan” kelimelerini bu şekilde düşünmek gerek; zaten Trilby’nin bu türden bir yaratık olduğu da daha başlarda anlaşılıyor.

The opines of Trilby are florid to say the least. Bittersweet ending but still touching and heart felt. ❤️
