Enjoy the artistry of Shakespeare in beautiful verse translations in modern EnglishThe Enjoy Shakespeare translations by Kent Richmond aim to solve two problems. First, make Shakespeare easier to understand. Second, do it in language that makes Shakespeare still seem worth reading.Most translations offer prose simplifications of Shakespeare’s originals, too often yielding a bland, “dumbed down” Shakespeare. Kent Richmond preserves the feel and richness of the plays by maintaining the basic poetic structure of each line. If Shakespeare uses blank verse, then the translation finds a modern equivalent in blank verse. If Shakespeare uses prose or includes a song or rhyme, the translation does too. The vocabulary remains as varied as Shakespeare’s and the sentences as complex. Take a look at the translation of the opening sonnet spoken by the Chorus in Romeo and Juliet:CHORUSTwo households, which in social standing match,In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,Their ancient grudge is now a lawless clash,Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.Brought from the fatal loins of these two foesA pair of star-crossed lovers take their life;And from their luckless fall compassion flowsTo bury with their death their parents’ strife.Their death-marked love pushed to its fearful end,And the persistence of their parents’ rage,Which nothing but their children’s death could mend,Are now two hours of business on our stage;And if you lend to us your patient ear,What is not seen we strive to make appear.The result is a translation that looks and feels like Shakespeare, with the poetic structure and the pacing of language and action kept intact. FeaturesLine-by-line verse translations, not prose paraphrases. Complete. No lines deleted or simplified. Accurate and authentic iambic pentameter. True to the feel and look of Shakespeare's original. Tone, complexity, and poetic devices preserved. Subtlety and richness revealed without distracting notes and glosses.Attractive, uncluttered, easy-to-read layout. Stage-ready for an audience-pleasing theatrical performance.With the Enjoy Shakespeare translations, you will experience this tale of star-crossed lovers with the challenge, comprehension, and delight of audiences 400 years ago--the way Shakespeare intended."Too often, unless we read a Shakespeare play beforehand, we process the language as if it were coming from a poorly tuned-in radio station. Shakespeare didn't write his plays to be experienced impressionistically as 'poetry;' he assumed his language was readily comprehensible. At what point does a stage of a language become so different from the modern one as to make translation necessary Mr. Richmond is brave enough to assert that, for Shakespeare, that time has come. The French have Moliere, the Russians have Chekhov--and now, we can truly say that we have our Shakespeare."--John McWhorter, Manhattan Institute Romeo & Juliet Soliloquies: Modern Romeo & Juliet ...
