About this book

The study is concerned with the way the love of Shakespeare evinced by the German theatre and its audiences began and developed in the 18th century. In fact, this is a history of 'love at second sight'. When the German stages discovered Shakespeare in the second half of the 18th century, they initially performed the dramas in a heavily adapted form so as to arouse the enthusiasm of their audiences for the Elizabethan dramatist. The study provides a detailed description of pre-romantic Shakespeare adaptations, performance practice, audience responses, and also of an aspect that is frequently overlooked: the impressive commitment to Shakespeare displayed by many protagonists of German cultural life.

Reviews

"This excellent dissertation deserves a place in every Shakespeare library as a standard study of Shakespeare's siege of continental theatres, both in Germany and elsewhere."
Norbert Greiner in: Anglistik 1/2009

"Häubleins Untersuchung verbindet überzeugend präzise Textanalysen [...] mit theatergeschichtlicher Darstellung und mit einem Plädoyer für den erheblichen Beitrag des Theaters bei der Aufnahme Shakespeares in Deutschland."
Dieter Mehl in: Archiv für das Studium der neueren Sprachen und Literaturen Nr.149, 2007
