Size: Hardcover

This open access book provides translations of early German versions of
Titus Andronicus
and
The Taming of the Shrew
. The introductory material situates these plays in their German context and discusses the insights they offer into the original English texts.
English itinerant players toured in northern Continental Europe from the 1580s. Their repertories initially consisted of plays from the London theatre, but over time the players learnt German, and German players joined the companies, meaning the dramatic texts were adapted and translated into German. There are four plays that can legitimately be considered as versions of Shakespeare's plays. The present volume (volume 2) offers fully-edited translations of two of them:
Tito Andronico
(
) and
Kunst über alle Künste, ein bös Weib gut zu machen
/
An Art beyond All Arts, to Make a Bad Wife Good
). For the other two plays,
Der Bestrafte Brudermord / Fratricide Punished
Hamlet
Romio und Julieta
Romeo and Juliet
), see volume 1. These plays are of great interest not only to all Shakespeareans, but also to scholars who are concerned with the broader issues of translation, performance and textual transmission over time.
