| Sumario: | In recent decades the field of Shakespearian translation has changed drastically. With the erosion of the Romantic notion of the artist and the sacrosanct status of the source text, the translator of Shakespeare has gained the status of a creative artist in his or her own right. Moreover, there has been a renewed interest in translation as adaptation. This appreciation of rewritten Shakespeare, too, has emphasized the creative contribution. Finally, with the cultural turn in literary studies, the meaning of the term 'translation' has expanded, and a broad space has been created where Shakespearian 'translation' is currently being discussed not only by the original translators and scholars whose native language is not English, but also by Anglo-oriented scholars with an interest in the cultural traffic in the work of the nation's most famous playwright and poet.
