Ongoing Projects
- Dissertation „Shakespeare reception on the West-German stage between 1945 and 1989“
The project looks at the reception of six Shakespeare plays on the West-German stage between 1945 and 1989 by analysing the contents of the Shakespeare Research Library’s theatre archive, looking at both quantitative and qualitative aspects. In addition, the reviews used in this project will be digitized and saved in a data base to make them accessible to future scholars.
