Product description Review "The collection as a whole appears well-structured, coherent and highly informative and should thus be added to any future reading done by those interested in German Shakespeare Studies and/or German Translation Studies." - in: Form for Modern Language Studies, Volume 55, Issue 2, April 2019 "[Shakespeare as German Author] is ultimately an important and new approach to Shakespeare's reception in German culture. Shakespeare's plays are viewed as a complex case of cultural transfer in which the practices of translation, adaptation, and performances are embedded...this book [is] both rewarding and comfortable for scholars." - Peter Höyng, Emery University, in: Goethe Yearbook of North America, vol. 27 (2020), pp. 374-75 About the Author John A.
