“With an exciting degree of self-awareness, Shakepeare in Succession [grants] a lens into why translating Shakespeare’s towering work from one babbling language to another is both artistically empowering and a bridge by which humanity may enrich itself in cross-cultural communion.” Theatre Research in Canada/ Recherches théâtrales au Canada --- “It is sometimes difficult to identify the warp and woof of a collection so wide ranging in tone and content. This renders the consistent lucidity with which the interpretative pliability of Shakespeare’s works is conveyed even more startling. Those works shine bright across time, place, and the pages of a brilliant volume.” Renaissance Quarterly --- “Although many [chapters] could be read alone, making interesting case studies in translation or contributions to translation theory, the rich discourse created by Saenger and Costola's multidisciplinary presentist focus becomes fully transparent in reading and re-reading the collection as a whole.” Participations: Journal of Audience and Reception Studies --- “Shakespeare in Succession successfully overcomes the traditional division between those who perform and those who study Shakespeare. Highlighting their shared concerns and interests, the book seeks to deconstruct this counterproductive gulf by bringing together the perspectives of theatrical practitioners, of translators, and of literary scholars coming from an impressively diverse array of cultures and traditions. A significant contribution to the global study of Shakespeare and translation.” Oana-Alis Zaharia, University of Bucharest and author of Cultural Reworkings and Translations in/of Shakespeare's Plays
