Summary/Abstract: The book offers a comprehensive account of Polish Shakespeare translations in the 20th and 21st century with particular attention to the analysis of translation strategies, biographical contexts and critical reception. The study centers on broadly understood assimilation processes of foreign literature in translation, their complexity and dynamics, and elucidates their historical, literary and theatrical dimension. The publication offers updates on Polish reception of Shakespeare and invites advanced comparative studies. This refers in particular to the relation of Shakespeare criticism and translation, the impact of aesthetics and theatrical conventions on translation policies, and the mechanisms governing retranslation of canonical works.
