This book critically analyzes the body of English language
translations Moliere's work for the stage, demonstrating the
importance of rhyme and verse forms, the creative work of the
translator, and the changing relationship with source texts in
these translations and their reception. The volume questions
prevailing notions about Moliere's legacy on the stage and the
prevalence of comedy in his works, pointing to the high volume of
English language translations for the stage of his work that have
emerged since the 1950s. Adopting a computer-aided method of
analysis, Ploix illustrates the role prosody plays in verse
translation for the stage more broadly, highlighting the
implementation of self-consciously comic rhyme and conspicuous
verse forms in translations of Moliere's work by way of example.
The book also addresses the question of the interplay between
translation and source text in these works and the influence of the
stage in overcoming formal infelicities in verse systems that may
arise from the process of translation. In so doing, Ploix considers
translations as texts in and of themselves in these works and the
translator as a more visible, creative agent in shaping the voice
of these texts independent of the source material, paving the way
for similar methods of analysis to be applied to other canonical
playwrights' work. The book will be of particular interest to
students and scholars in translation studies, adaptation studies,
and theatre studies
