Programme: MRes Modern Languages
Names of supervisors: Dr Elystan Griffiths and Dr Hilary Brown

I am researching English translations of Heinrich von Kleist's play, Der Prinz von Homburg. I shall provide an overview of the reception of the play in the English-speaking world and consider in depth the reception, stagings and effectiveness of a selection of the translations, with detailed analysis of sections that pose particular challenges to the translator.
