Once such translations began to appear in the final decades of the twentieth century, productions followed and audiences were once again given the opportunity of discovering the enormous riches of this theatre. The bringing of Spanish seventeenth-century verse plays to the contemporary English-speaking stage involves a number of fundamental questions. Are verse translations preferable to prose, and if so, what kind of verse? To what degree should translations aim to be "faithful"? Which kinds of plays "work", and which do not? Which values and customs of the past present no difficulties for contemporary audiences, and which need to be decoded in performance? Which kinds of staging are suitable, and which are not? To what degree, if any, should one aim for "authenticity" in staging? And so on. In this volume, a distinguished group of translators, directors, and scholars explores these and related questions in illuminating and thought-provoking essays. 410 0$aColeccion Tamesis.$nSerie A,$pMonografias ;$v261. 606 $aSpanish drama (Comedy)$xHistory and criticism 606 $aSpanish drama$yClassical period, 1500-1700$xHistory and criticism 606 $aSpanish literature$vTranslations into English 615 0$aSpanish drama (Comedy)$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aSpanish drama$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aSpanish literature 676 $a862.05230903 701 $aDe Garcia$b Susan Paun$01825898 701 $aLarson$b Donald R.$f1935-$01398311 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911008476703321 996 $aThe Comedia in English$94393823 997 $aUNINA
