Originally published in 1943, this book contains an edited French
edition of Paul Claudel's 1910 drama L'annonce faite a Marie. The
play, which deals with a young French peasant woman who contracts
leprosy in the medieval era, is accompanied by critical notes at
the end of the volume and a biographical note on Claudel's life and
career. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in
French drama.
HAB is happy to re-propose after many years Paul Claudel's play The
Tidings Brought to Mary, a play in a translation by Louise Morgan
Sill. A significant introduction by Luigi Giussani, founder of the
Catholic lay ecclesial movement of Communion and Liberation, helps
the reader to be drawn more deeply into the drama of the play and
to find described there the drama which faces each of us. Pope
Benedict XVI once made the point that world history is a struggle
between two kinds of love: "self-love to the point of hatred for
God, and love of God to the point of self-renunciation. This second
love brings the redemption of the world and the self." This is the
claim, the proposal of the play The Tidings Brought to Mary. After
nearly a hundred years, as we watch this Infinite Love generate the
play's heroic characters, we find ourselves begging in turn:
"Please let me meet You. Please let your love take hold of my life.
Please let me be embraced by a love that shows me where my place
is-that draws everything in my life to Yourself. Please let me obey
that love."

Break of Noon (Partage de midi) is a collaborative attempt, edited
by Anthony Rudolf, at preparing an English-language edition of Paul
Claudel's remarkable and complex play, an unstable text which gave
Claudel many problems throughout his life. These are explored in
essays by David Furlong of Exchange Theatre in London, which put on
a production of the play in 2018 and John Naughton, a leading
authority on Claudel. The critical apparatus is completed by the
late Susannah York's essay on her own involvement with the play and
recounts her interaction with her fellow translator, Jonathan
Griffin. The instability of this strange and compelling work in its
various original versions is mirrored by the three critical essays
in the present work, which do not always see eye to eye. It is
thirty years since Jonathan Griffin died and nearly fifty years
since Pierre Rouve's Ipswich production of Jonathan's translation,
starring Ben Kingsley and Annie Firbank.
