Charting the early dissemination of Shakespeare in the Nordic
countries in the 19th century, this opens up an area of global
Shakespeare studies that has received little attention to date.
With case studies exploring the earliest translations of Hamlet
into Danish; the first translation of Macbeth and the differing
translations of Hamlet into Swedish; adaptations into Finnish;
Kierkegaard's re-working of King Lear, and the reception of the
African-American actor Ira Aldridge's performances in Stockholm as
Othello and Shylock, it will appeal to all those interested in the
reception of Shakespeare and its relationship to the political and
social conditions. The volume intervenes in the current discussion
of global Shakespeare and more recent concepts like 'rhizome',
which challenge the notion of an Anglocentric model of 'centre'
versus 'periphery'. It offers a new assessment of these notions,
revealing how the dissemination of Shakespeare is determined by a
series of local and frequently interlocking centres and
peripheries, such as the Finnish relation to Russia or the
Norwegian relation with Sweden, rather than a matter of influence
from the English Cultural Sphere.
