Born in Manchester in 1959, Ranjit Bolt was educated at Perse School and at Balliol College, Oxford. He worked as an investment analyst and advisor for eight years, before concentrating on theatre translation from the end of 1990. Ranjit Bolt's acclaimed translations for the theatre, many of which are published by Oberon Books, include works by Moliere, Seneca, Sophocles, Corneille, Beaumarchais, Brecht, Goldoni and Zorilla. José Zorrilla y Moral (1817-1893) was both a prolific playwright and the romantic poet who impressed himself more than any other upon nineteenth-century Spain. His own life was just as romantic as his work; a mixture of flight, poverty and concealment. |
