Beginning with the translations of Boye in the 18th century, this book traces the evolution of Shakespeare in Denmark through Rosenfeldt in the 18th century and Foersom in the 19th, showing how Shakespeare's work was interpreted, adapted, and staged in Denmark. The book also provides a comprehensive overview of 18th and 19th-century Shakespearean criticism in Denmark, revealing how Danish critics engaged with contemporary debates about Shakespeare's work while responding to questions of national identity and literary style. By analyzing the work of critics like Rahbek, Sander, and Thaarup, this book offers a unique perspective on the reception and interpretation of Shakespeare in a non-English-speaking country. Ultimately, it illuminates the ways in which Shakespeare's work has shaped Danish culture and thought, demonstrating the profound impact it has had on a nation's literature and identity.
