Abstract

Coming from a different corner of Shakespeare studies, I note with interest that women translators of German Shakespeare scholarship, such as Fanny Elizabeth Bunnett or L. Dora Schmitz, were not subject to the anonymity imposed on women editors and featured prominently on title pages and in prefaces. A section follows on the role played by early student editions of Shakespeare, many hardly known now, and their relationship to scholarly texts proper. This highly interesting book sets out the history of women Shakespeare editors in Britain and the USA during the period roughly from 1870 to 1930, in some cases beyond that date.
