Excerpt from Molière: A Biography

Excerpt from Molière: A Biography
In writing this biography the aim has been to tell the story of Moliere's life for English readers. With this in view, I have translated all the quoted passages, whether in prose or verse, using English heroic measure for the excerpts from Moliere's versified plays. The French classic form is the Alexandrine rhymed couplet, a metre ill according with the genius of our language; hence it has seemed wiser to employ the blank verse measure of our own dramatic poetry rather than to attempt a rendering of Moliere's rhymed hexameters in English. Manifestly it is impossible for such translations to retain the melodious rhythm of the original. My sole aim has been to suggest rather than convey the charm of Moliere's imagery, and to embody the spirit rather than the letter of his verse. The student may find in the Appendix the quoted poetical passages in the original French.

Molià re: A Biography (Classic Reprint)
Impresión bajo demandaLibrería: Forgotten Books, London, Reino Unido
Calificación del vendedor: 5 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This biography tells the story of Molià re's life through his plays and his plays through his life. It explores the extraordinary social and literary history of the French stage in the 17th century, which Molià re dominated with his acting and writing. The author examines each of Molià re's theatrical roles and major works in chronological order, giving a vivid picture of the times. Molià re, as both a man and artist, emerges from this rich tapestry: his struggles during twelve years as a wandering provincial actor, his triumphant return to Paris, and his tumultuous love life, including his scandalous marriage to the actress Armande Bà jart. This book offers a deep understanding of Molià re's work within its historical context and celebrates a playwright whose observations on human nature remain universally relevant.
