"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"--

La dizaine d'études rassemblées ici postule que, dans le théâtre contemporain, la profération de la parole l'emporte volontiers sur le récit d'une histoire : ce sont les procédés, les enjeux et les effets de cette ouverture du drame à la poésie qu'il s'agit alors d'interroger.

"Cette étrange mascarade, inspirée par un épisode de Rabelais, est la plus libre qu'on ait osé représenter à la cour. Il s'agit sans cesse du même objet qu'on apportait en guise de Momon (cérémonie ridicule) au seigneur de la Nigaudière, gentilhomme de village, et que tous les états viennent honorer à leur tour en célébrant le "sacré mystère" des andouilles."
