This book establishes an analytical model for the description of
existing translations in their historical context within a
framework suggested by systemic concepts of literature. It argues
against mainstream 20th-century translation theory and, by
proposing a socio-cultural model of translation, takes into account
how a translation functions in the receiving culture. The case
studies of successive translations of "Hamlet" in France from the
eighteenth century neoclassical version of Jean-Francois Ducis to
the 20th-century Lacanian, post-structuralist stage production of
Daniel Mesguich show the translator at work. Each chapter focuses
on a different aspect of the changing theatrical and literary norms
to which translators through the ages have been bound by the
expectations both of their audiences and the literary
establishment.
