Alt-Englisches Theater Oder Supplemente Zum Shakspear (1811)

Ludwig Tieck's 1811 work features translations and adaptations of Shakespeare's plays, tailored to resonate with German language and culture. As a key figure in German Romanticism, Tieck not only translated but also reinterpreted notable works such as "The Tempest," "A Midsummer Night's Dream," and "King Lear." His efforts significantly increased Shakespeare's popularity in Germany, solidifying the playwright's status as a major literary figure. This edition serves as a valuable preservation of Tieck's contributions to the literary landscape.
