Letter (4 p.) |
| Content Summary: |
A friend living in Paris has shown him a specimen of a translation of 'Cyrano de Bergerac', about which Irving has already heard. The translator is Mme Gladys Thomas. He has compared it with the original and if not ideal (only Swinburne or Meredith could provide that) it is far above average. It is English yet true to the French but not servile. He needs no reply - he would like to see 'Cyrano' produced in England by Irving. |
