Excerpt from Three Comedies In the following translations Holberg's meaning is given to the best of the translator's ability, without tenacious adherence to phrases or punctilious attention to words. A translator, like other persons, may be over-righteous. Holberg was born in Bergen in 1684, eleven years after the death of Moliere, and seven years after the birth of George Farquhar, the youngest of the so-called "Comic Dramatists of the Restoration, " and he died in Copenhagen in 1754. He was a man of comprehensive intellect, and wrote several valuable and laborious works in addition to his thirty-three comedies. The edition of his comedies referred to in this book is Holbergs Komedier, udgivne af Julius Martensen, in 13 vols., Ernst Bojesen, Copenhagen, 1897. In the preface which he wrote (in French) to Fursman's French translation of some of his plays Holberg, explains briefly his views on comedy (xii. 256).
