• CALL FOR PAPERS “The International Translation and Circulation of Shakespeare Criticism” – thematic volume

  2024-11-08

  Multicultural Shakespeare: Translation, Appropriation and Performance vol 32 no 46 (2025)

  Guest Editors: Raphaël Ingelbien and Carmen Reisinger (KU Leuven)

  The mutual influence between Shakespeare critics of different nations is well known and has in some cases been extensively studied and debated (see e.g. the controversy that has long surrounded Coleridge’s debt to Schlegel). This special issue aims to go beyond questions of influence, in order to refocus the debate on the actual channels of transmission through which Shakespeare criticism has been circulated and received across linguistic and national boundaries, and on the various new audiences that it reached through that circulation. We particularly welcome proposals on the translation and circulation of Shakespeare criticism in ‘smaller’ languages, or in regions outside of Europe.

  Deadline for article abstracts (300 words): 30 December 2024

  Final deadline for complete article submissions, interviews and reviews: 15 April 2025
