Interesting comparisonBy WhyMe MarieIm taking a short course in which Im comparing 2 translations and one adaptation of the play as a preparation for seeing a staged production. The differences are quite interesting. Not being a scholar of French; I can only compare the various English versions; but Im enjoying the humor.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great version.By Paul MendenhallRichard Wilburs adaptation is brilliant.0 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Corneille meets Dr. SuessBy Bexlyn WrightWhile Corneille is poetic in French; the translation should not be - or at least not like this. Forcing the rhyme means having to change the meaning and thus we lose some what Corneille wrote. A classmate of mine had a different translation and I liked it much more.
