Produced by Louise Hope, David Starner and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "An Essay Toward a History of Shakespeare in Norway" by Martin B. Ruud is a scholarly dissertation written in the early 20th century. The work focuses on the history of Shakespearean translations, criticism, and performances of his plays specifically within Norway, rather than exploring his influence on Norwegian literature broadly. This examination reveals the complexities and developments in how Shakespeare's works were received and adapted in a country where the political and artistic contexts influenced literature's evolution. The opening of the dissertation sets the stage for this exploration by introducing a significant group of intellectuals in the city of Trondhjem who contributed to the early interest in serious studies of Shakespeare. These figures founded a society that would advocate for a distinct Norwegian intellectual tradition, leading to the first Norwegian translation of Shakespeare. Ruud describes the context of Norway's relationship with Denmark, detailing the cultural and language interchanges that shaped the translations and performances of Shakespeare's works. The text emphasizes the challenges of preserving Shakespeare's poetic language in translations, highlighting early attempts and shortcomings, which provide insight into the translation processes and the evolving appreciation of Shakespeare in Norway.
