Hagen, Rebecca
Making 'Hamlet' German

Forms of Translation and Recreation.

Rebecca Hagen examines the retranslation of Hamlet in Germany in the 20th and the early 21st century. She adopts a comparative approach, juxtaposing four retranslations (the versions by Hauptmann, Fried, Günther, Schanelec and Gosch) of Shakespeare's Hamlet to Schlegel's canonical translation of the Long Nineteenth Century. By comparing and contrasting the succeeding translations to the Schlegelian translation as well as their direct predecessors, it can be assessed to what extent retranslators have engaged with previous solutions, thereby benefitting the creation of a translating tradition.
