Book excerpt: Excerpt from Corneille and Racine in England; A Study of the English Translations of the Two Corneilles and Racine, With Especial Reference: To Their Presentation on the English Stage The collection of translations has been car ried down to the end of the first quarter of the nineteenth century only, as after that time all the English versions were merely literary exercises. The motive prompting the work had completely changed. English renderings of foreign masterpieces may be said to be sin cere translations only when the motive of the translator is to make it possible for the gen eral public, reading no language but English, to know the foreign work in as perfect an English reproduction as he can make. When he produces his work with no such idea, but addresses himself to a small circle who know both languages and can make comparisons, meaning to exhibit his dexterity in manu facturing English verse out of French, he is performing a literary tour de force only, and his production has nothing in common with the sincere translation which forms the material studied here.

Book excerpt: "Corneille and Racine in England: a study of the English translations of the two Corneilles and Racine with special reference to their presentation on the English stage." "A valuable feature of this book is the presentation of well-chosen excerpts from the various translations, illustrative of the authors critical comments. These selections are accompanied by the original text.... Pleasantly suggestive sketches are given of the writers who figured as translators from the time of Charles I to the earlier years of the nineteenth century. Among a crowd of obscure hacks may be noted the names of Katharine Philips (the 'Matchless Orinda'), Waller, Cotton, Otway, Steele, Young (of the 'Nights thoughts'), and Colley Cibber. -NY Times [1906]

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literary historians and critics who have written on the influence of Racine in England during the neoclassical period apparently have assumed that the English translators and adapters of Racine’s plays in general succeeded in presenting the real Racine to the English public. Katherine Wheatley here reveals the wide discrepancy between avowed intentions and actual results. Among the English plays she compares with their French originals are Otway’s Titus and Berenice, Congreve’s The Mourning Bride, and Philips’s The Distrest Mother. These comparisons, fully supported by quoted passages, reveal that those among the English public and contemporary critics who could not themselves read French had no chance whatever to know the real Racine: “The adapters and translators, so-called, had eliminated Racine from his tragedies before presenting them to the public.” Unacknowledged excisions and additions, shifts in plot, changes in dénouement, and frequent mistranslation turned Racine’s plays into “wretched travesties.” Two translations of Britannicus, intended for reading rather than for acting, are especially revealing in that they show which Racinian qualities eluded the British translators even when they were not trying to please an English theatergoing audience. Why it is, asks the author, that no English dramatist could or would present Racine as he is to the English public of the neoclassical period? To answer this question she traces the development of Aristotelian formalism in England, showing the relation of the English theory of tragedy to French classical doctrine and the relation of the English adaptations of Racine to the English neoclassical theory of tragedy. She concludes that “deliberate alterations made by the English, far from violating classical tenets, bring Racine’s tragedies closer to the English neoclassical ideal than they were to begin with, and this despite the fact that some tenets of English doctrine came from parallel tenets widely accepted in France.” She finds that “in the last analysis, French classical doctrine was itself a barrier to the understanding of Racinian tragedy in England and an incentive to the sort of change English translators and adapters made in Racine.” This paradox she explains by the fact that Racine himself had broken with the classical tradition as represented by Corneille.

Download or read book Amadis in English written by Helen Moore and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-05-13 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book about readers: readers reading, and readers writing. They are readers of all ages and from all ages: young and old, male and female, from Europe and the Americas. The book they are reading is the Spanish chivalric romance Amadís de Gaula, known in English as Amadis de Gaule. Famous throughout the sixteenth century as the pinnacle of its fictional genre, the cultural functions of Amadis were further elaborated by the publication of Cervantes's Don Quixote in 1605, in which Amadis features as Quixote's favourite book. Amadis thereby becomes, as the philosopher Ortega y Gasset terms it, 'enclosed' within the modern novel and part of the imaginative landscape of British reader-authors such Mary Shelley, Smollett, Keats, Southey, Scott, and Thackeray. Amadis in English ranges from the sixteenth to the twentieth centuries, demonstrating through this 'biography' of a book the deep cultural, intellectual, and political connections of English, French, and Spanish literature across five centuries. Simultaneously an ambitious work of transnational literary history and a new intervention in the history of reading, this study argues that romance is historically located, culturally responsive, and uniquely flexible in the re-creative possibilities it offers readers. By revealing this hitherto unexamined reading experience connecting readers of all backgrounds, Amadis in English also offers many new insights into the politicisation of literary history; the construction and misconstruction of literary relations between England, France, and Spain; the practice and pleasures of reading fiction; and the enduring power of imagination.
