The first English translation of Olga A. Smirnitskaya's influential 1994 Russian work on Anglo-Saxon and Old Norse studies. In 1994, Moscow State University professor Olga A. Smirnitskaya published a significant work in the field of Old Germanic Philology entitled The Verse and Language of Old Germanic Poetry (???? ? ???? ???????????????? ??????). The book was lauded as one of the most important contributions from the Russian school of Anglo-Saxon and Old Norse studies to the worldwide scholarship in that field. It covers the emergence and evolution of Old Germanic verse forms from the earliest runic inscriptions to the pinnacles achieved in Old English Beowulf and Old Norse skaldic poetry. This translation is a fundamental piece of scholarship that will be in great demand by non-Russian-speaking scholars working in the fields of Old English and Old Norse language and literature all over the world, as well as by wider scholarly audiences involved in any aspect of studies of Old Germanic languages and literature, especially poetry and meters.

An accessible new translation of one of Shakespeare‿s most interesting and challenging plays.   One of Shakespeare‿s most difficult plays, Measure for Measure has long challenged performers and audiences alike. In reworking the play in her translation, Aditi Brennan Kapil honors the structure, rhythms, and themes of Shakespeare‿s original.

These translations present the work of “The Bardâ€? in language accessible to modern audiences while never losing the beauty of Shakespeare‿s verse. Enlisting the talents of a diverse group of contemporary playwrights, screenwriters, and dramaturges from diverse backgrounds, this project reenvisions Shakespeare for the twenty-first century.

A powerfully topical new translation of Shakespeare's study of military power and political folly. Bay Area director, actor, and producer Sean San José takes on the themes of power and politics in his version of Coriolanus, Shakespeare's exploration of militaristic might and political folly. San José's take on this little-known classic reimagines the text to be spoken by and for a community of "others." The translation, which brings Shakespeare's language into our era, rendering its thematic and dramatic power broadly accessible, is powered by a reexamination of populism in our current political moment.   This translation of Coriolanus was written as part of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival's Play On! project, which commissioned new translations of thirty-nine Shakespeare plays. These translations present the work of "The Bard" in language accessible to modern audiences while never losing the beauty of Shakespeare's verse. Enlisting the talents of a diverse group of contemporary playwrights, screenwriters, and dramaturges from diverse backgrounds, this project reenvisions Shakespeare for the twenty-first century. These volumes make these works available for the first time in print-a new First Folio for a new era.
