Robert Garnier's Porcie (1586) : an English translation of Act V

Abstract

This project is the translation of Act V of Robert Garnier's Porcie (1586). Robert Garnier's tragedy Porcie (1586) reflects the tastes and temperament of sixteenth century French drama. There is an introduction at the beginning of the thesis to bring the reader up to progress with the play, as this thesis only includes Act V. It includes both the French lines, in their original format, as well as an accompanying English translation. This act is the final piece of the French tragedy Porcie, and thus concludes the story. It involves the characters of the Nurse and the Chorus of Roman Women.
