1. BIBLIOGRAPHY

Besides the following special works, extensive bibliographies will be found under the heading Shakespeare in the British Museum Catalogue of Printed Books, in Bohn’s edition of Lowndes’s Bibliographer’s Manual (6 vols., 1858–65, pp. 2252–2366), and in the ninth edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, vol. XXI (by Tedder, H. R.). Lee’s Life of Shakespeare, sixth edition, 1908, contains a very useful survey of Shakespearean literature; and Poole’s Index to Periodical Literature (Boston, 1882, and supplements) is an invaluable guide to the numerous articles which have appeared in magazines. Many papers on subjects connected with Shakespeare will also be found in various volumes of Anglia, Englische Studien, Herrig’s Archiv für das Studium der neueren Sprachen und Literaturen, Modern Language Notes and similar publications.

On the performance of 1604 see Journal de Jean Héraord sur l’enfance de Louis XIII, edd. Soulié et de Barthélemy, vol. I, pp. 88 ff., Paris, 1868. The suggestion by Coote, M. H. C.

The literature dealing with the “Englische Komödianten” in Germany is very extensive, and only the more important works are cited below. To these, the reader is referred for a fuller bibliography.

Cohn, A. Shakespeare in Germany in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries. Berlin, 1865. Contains texts, with English translations, of Ayrer’s Sidea and Phoenicia, Julius and Hippolyta, Titus Andronicus, Der bestrafte Brudermord, Romeo and Juliet.

Creizenach, W. Die Schauspiele der englischen Komödianten. Stuttgart, 1889. This edition contains, together with other plays, the Tragoedia von Tito Andronico, Tugend- und Liebesstreit (which shows similarity to Twelfth Night), and Der bestrafte Brudermord, oder Prinz Hamlet aus Dänemark. In the appendix, the Programm zu einer Aufführung des König Lear in Breslau, 1692.

Of the repertory of the Englische Komödianten, Der bestrafte Brudermord has awakened most interest.

Kunst über alle Künste ein bös Weib gut zu machen. Eine deutsche Bearbeitung von Shakespeares The Taming of the Shrew aus dem Jahr 1672. Neu herausgegeben von R. Köhler. Berlin, 1864. Gottsched, J. C., mentions in his Nöthiger Vorrath (Leipzig, 1757–65) a drama which Weise’s predecessor, Rector Christian Keimann had performed by his pupils in 1658, Die wunderbare Heurath Petruvio mit der bösen Catherine. This play seems to have been performed at Görlitz in 1678 (cf. Bolte, J., in Shakesp. Jahrb., vol. XXVII, pp. 124 ff., 1892).

Christian Weise. Von der bösen Catharine. Herausgegeben von Fulda, L. in Kürschner’s Deutsche Nationalliteratur, vol. XXXIX, Stuttgart, 1883. Evidently based on both the preceding versions.

v. Denmark

Rosenfeldt, N., translated several plays of Shakespeare’s into Danish as early as 1790–1. Danish opinion of Shakespeare in the later years of the eighteenth century is, for the most part, a reflex of that held in Germany. Luxdorph, B. W. (1716–88) maintained the Voltairean standpoint, while the later Romantic writers, such as Johannes Ewald, Jens Baggesen, and Carsten Hauch, were deeply influenced by Shakespeare.
