Description
This lively prose translation of Moliere's great comedy remains close to the original French, while casting the speech of characters in a slightly compressed and formalised way that comes very close to the original effect created by Moliere's verse.
This edition includes an introductory essay, notes, and translations of Moliere's three appeals to the king.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Jim Carmody of the University of California, San Diego, praises this new translation by Prudence Steiner for its crisp and lucid prose that better captures the slippery rhetoric of Tartuffe's manipulations than previous rhymed versions. The translation offers clarity and bluntness in presenting the play's ideological conflicts, aided by Roger Herzel's well-focused scholarly introduction that benefits new readers of Molière. The modernised text revitalises the play's scandalous and burning tone for contemporary audiences.
