Reviews

'As a survey of Shakespeare in translation and performance in China during the last half of the 20th century, Levith's book serves as a worthy introduction. Shakespeare in China covers the important historical events since 1949 and their effects on circulation of western literary texts and ideas. It has some real value and serves as a model of genuine international scholarship and interdisciplinarity that will benefit scholars and teachers of Shakespeare.' The Shakespeare Yearbook, October 2005
