Shakespeares Global Sonnets Summary

Shakespeares Global Sonnets: Translation, Appropriation, Performance by Jane Kingsley-Smith

This edited collection brings together scholars from across the world, including France, Italy, Germany, Hungary, Japan, the USA and India, to offer a truly international perspective on the global reception of Shakespeares Sonnets from the 18thcentury to the present. Global Shakespeare has never been so local and familiar as it is today. The translation, appropriation and teaching of Shakespeares plays across the world have been the subject of much important recent work in Shakespeare studies, as have the ethics of Shakespeares globalization. Within this discussion, however, the Sonnets are often overlooked. This book offers a new global history of the Sonnets, including the first substantial study of their translation and of their performance in theatre, music and film. It will appeal to anyone interested in the reception of the Sonnets, and of Shakespeare across the world.
