After the breakdown of civilization during the Holocaust,
Shakespeare s Merchant of Venice quickly regained its traditional
position at the forefront of the West German theater scene. Despite
or indeed due to the fact that the piece exhibits problematic
constructions of Jewishness in the figure of the money-lender
Shylock, it became an important reference point and medium of
difficult debates regarding the problem of German hate and German
guilt. This volume discusses important stations of this
contradictory reception history from the perspective of English and
German studies, theater studies and commemorative history
research."
