Rezumat

The volume Shakespeare in Succession: Translation and Time, edited by Michael Saenger and Sergio Costola, represents a timely contribution to the field of Shakespeare studies, particularly within the subfields of translation studies and global performance criticism. Building on recent presentist approaches to Shakespeare (Grady & Hawkes, 2007; DiPietro & Grady, 2013), as well as on insights from translation and adaptation studies (Hutcheon, 2006; Jonathan Gil Harris, 2009) that posit Shakespeare's works as cultural texts embedded in ongoing processes of translation, adaptation, and reworking, the volume offers a compelling investigation into the complex cultural negotiations that reshape Shakespeare’s texts across time, space, and language.
