Translation, Poetics, and the Stage: Six French Hamlets

By Romy Heylen

Book Overview

This book proposes a socio-cultural model of translation, taking into account how a translation functions in the receiving culture. It studies successive translations of "Hamlet" from the eighteenth century neoclassical version of Jean-Francois Ducis to the 20th-century Lacanian, post-structuralist stage production of Daniel Mesguich, each chapter focusing on a different aspect of the changing theatrical and literary norms.
