The introductory material situates these plays in their German context and discusses the insights they offer into the original English texts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEnglish itinerant players toured in northern Continental Europe from the 1580s. Their repertories initially consisted of plays from the London theatre, but over time the players learnt German, and German players joined the companies, meaning the dramatic texts were adapted and translated into German. There are four plays that can legitimately be considered as versions of Shakespeare's plays. The present volume (volume 2) offers fully-edited translations of two of them: \u003ci\u003eTito Andronico\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003eTitus Andronicus\u003c\/i\u003e) and \u003ci\u003eKunst über alle Künste, ein bös Weib gut zu machen \u003c\/i\u003e\/ \u003ci\u003eAn Art beyond All Arts, to Make a Bad Wife Good\u003c\/i\u003e (\u003ci\u003eThe Taming of the Shrew\u003c\/i\u003e). For the other two plays, \u003ci\u003eDer Bestrafte Brudermord \/ Fratricide Punished \u003c\/i\u003e(\u003ci\u003eHamlet\u003c\/i\u003e) and \u003ci\u003eRomio und Julieta \u003c\/i\u003e(\u003ci\u003eRomeo and Juliet\u003c\/i\u003e), see volume 1. These plays are of great interest not only to all Shakespeareans, but also to scholars who are concerned with the broader issues of translation, performance and textual transmission over time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe open access edition of this book is available on  www.bloomsburycollections.com.
