The New Romanian Shakespeare Series on the Move: From Page to Stage and Screen

Abstract

Abstract This article aims at presenting the impact that the New Romanian Shakespeare edition launched in 2010 by George Volceanov has had on the literati and theatres so far. It is, therefore, a stocktaking exercise and its main goal is to provide Shakespeare scholars with an initial data base for further investigation of theatrical productions which use the new translation as significant moments in the history of Shakespeare’s reception in Romania and, on the other hand, to occasion some reflective remarks on the six years of the series now at its tenth volume and 26 plays plus the Sonnets.
