Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Plays of Emile Verhaeren, the Dawn: The Cloister; Philip II; Helen of Sparta Les Aubes was first published in 1898 by Ed. Deman, Brussels. The English version, by Mr. Arthur Symons, now republished, appeared later in the same year (London, Duckworth and Co.). The play was privately produced by the Section d´ Art de la Maison du Peuple de Bruxelles before its appearance in book form. It has not yet been publicly performed. In his introduction to the first edition of his translation Mr. Symons wrote: "I have translated M. Verhaeren´s verse very literally, and I have followed all his rhythms with great exactitude. But for the most part I have used unrhymed in place of rhymed verse, reserving rhyme for the speeches of the Seer, which are in a more definitely stanzaic form in the original, and for the ronde on page 90. It seemed to me this was the best way of conveying M. Verhaeren´s form into English; and, having finished my translation, I wrote to him, telling him exactly what I had done. He replied: ´Si le vers français sans rime existait, je 1´aurais employé moimeme. Seulement le vers blanc français ne me dit rien. En anglais ce doit ètre mon souhait. Je vous approuve done entitlement." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
