This dynamic new translation of "Tartuffe" conveys the subject matter of Moliere's perennial masterpiece in a way that resonates for contemporary audiences. Prudence Steiner has modernized and revitalized the text, making its burning and scandalous tone stand out, as it does in the original French. The thorough introduction to the play skillfully invites the reader into the dark and controversial world of "Tartuffe." --Florent Masse, Princeton University
This translation is a welcome relief from the ungainly verse translations of "Tartuffe" that dominate the field. The introduction by Prof. Herzel is detailed, scholarly, and readable, and the translation of the play is stageable, therefore a good one to teach theatre students. --Dr. Rosemarie Bank, Kent State University
The new Steiner "Tartuffe" offers welcome relief from all the rhymed translations that make Moliere sound like a third-rate Restoration poet while creating the (false) impression that verbal dexterity and wit trump all other values in the great comic playwright's dramaturgy. Steiner's crisp, lucid prose her adroitly balanced sentences are especially effective at conveying the slippery rhetoric of Tartuffe's seductions unfolds the plot and characters of Moliere's play with an unaccustomed clarity, presenting the ideological clashes of the play with a bluntness many other translations attenuate. Roger Herzel's Introduction is well-focused for those encountering Moliere for the first time and informed throughout by his own excellent scholarship. --Jim Carmody, University of California, San Diego"
