Perry Gethner

co-author of A Trip to the Country

February 4, 2012

Perry Gethner is a scholar of early modern French literature, especially drama and opera. I have published numerous critical editions and translations, plus articles on a variety of drama-related topics.

A Trip to the Country is the first-ever translation of an experimental French novel from 1699 by a controversial woman author, the Countess de Murat. It criticizes French political and cultural life and features as inserts some examples of newly popular literary forms, such as fairy tales and ghost stories.
