Abstract

This article analyzes the paratextual commentary in six English versions of Dario Fo’s Accidental Death of an Anarchist. In the paratexts, translators, adaptors and literary critics engage with two problems: Fo’s permission to freely adapt his texts, on the one hand, and the demand for fidelity in a philological sense, on the other.


Cet article analyse les commentaires paratextuels dans six versions anglaises de Mort accidentelle d’un anarchiste par Dario Fo. Traducteurs, adaptateurs et critiques littéraires font face à deux problèmes: d’un côté, la permission que donne Fo de adapter librement ses textes et, de l’autre côté, l’exigence de rester fidèle dans un sens philologique à l’original.
