<div><DIV>Translation is tricky business. The translator has to transform the foreign to the familiar while moving and pleasing his or her audience. Louise Ladouceur knows theatre from a multi-dimensional perspective that gives her research a particular authority as she moves between two of the dominant cultures of Canada: French and English. Through the analysis of six plays from each linguistic repertoire, written and translated between 1961 and 2000, her award-winning book compares the complexities of a translation process shaped by the power struggle between Canada&rsquo;s two official languages. The winner of the Prix Gabrielle-Roy and the Ann Saddlemyer Book Award, <i>Dramatic License </i>addresses issues important to scholars and students of Translation Studies, Canadian Literature, and Theatre Studies, as well as theatre practitioners and translators.</div></div>
