Abstract

My thesis is a partial translation of Bradamante (1582) by Robert Garnier, from French to English, in conjunction with other honors students and under the direction of Dr. Donald Gilman. As a base text for the translation, the edition and commentary by Raymond Lebegue (Paris, 1949) proved accurate and useful. I have amended my translation of Act V with a few endnotes to clarify places and names with which the reader may not be familiar. Any English speaker with an interest in theater or French history could benefit from our collective translation of the play, as Bradamante is an exceptionally well written and influential play.
