A meditation on the major plays of Shakespeare and the thorny art
of literary translation, Shakespeare and the French Poet contains
twelve essays from France's most esteemed critic and preeminent
living poet, Yves Bonnefoy. Offering observations on Shakespeare's
response to the spiritual crisis of his era as well as wry insights
on the practical and theoretical challenges of verse in
translation, Bonnefoy delivers thoughtful, evocative essays penned
in his characteristically powerful prose. In seven essays exploring
Shakespeare's major plays, Bonnefoy represents the Bard as a writer
precariously straddling the nascent chasm between a vanishing world
governed by religious authority and an emerging world directed by
scientific thought. In negotiating this rift, Bonnefoy asserts,
Shakespeare confronts in his plays certain existential and
ontological uncertainties that still trouble us today. poetry into
French verse, Bonnefoy recognizes a history of cultural
misunderstanding, a risk inherent in any translation project.
Bonnefoy's longtime collaborator John Naughton faithfully renders
Bonnefoy's perfectly crafted sentences in a manner that retains the
original's meaning, elegance, and flow while acknowledging just
that risk. Translated and edited specifically for an American
readership, this volume also contains a new interview with
Bonnefoy. For Shakespeare scholars, Bonnefoy enthusiasts, and
students of literary translation, Shakespeare and the French Poet
is a celebration of the global language of poetry and the art of
making someone else's voice live again in one's own.
