Description
Translated by Richard Wilbur, this collection brings together two of Pierre Corneille's most celebrated plays: Le Cid and The Liar. A tragedy set in Seville, Le Cid explores the consequences of honor and romantic love, while The Liar, a farce set in France, delves into the complexities of love, misperceptions, and deception.
These two plays, published together in one volume, showcase the breadth of Corneille's skill as a playwright. Written in the style of his time, they offer a glimpse into the past, while also demonstrating the enduring appeal of French theatre.
Richard Wilbur's translations have been widely praised for their accuracy and clarity, making these plays accessible to a new generation of readers and theatre enthusiasts.
