Hofmann further supports his position by reference to other translation theorists; he names Kloepfer, Levý, Vinay, Reiss and quotes Mounin “who presents the demand for this invariance in a particularly rigid way”:

Prior to faithfulness to the wording, to grammar, to syntax and even to the style of each individual sentence in the text must be faithfulness to that which made this piece a success in its original country. One has to translate its effectiveness on stage first before giving consideration to the reproduction of its literary or poetic qualities, and if in this conflicts should arise, then priority must be given to the effectiveness on stage. (Mounin 1967:137; Hofmann 1980:27, translation my own)
