'A concise but solid foundation for understanding Salkinson's translations and their Hebrew literary context ...beautifully formatted, For all readers, Kahn provides an admirably readable translation of a translation, with commentary that highlights both the accomplishments and the shortcomings of Ithiel and Ram and Jael.' Hebrew Studies 'A fascinating volume from which much can be learnt about translation, differing perceptions of Shakespeare in eclectic cultures and traditions. Kahn and the publishers are to be congratulated. Hopefully their volume will receive the wide circulation and attention that it deserves.' Multicultural Shakespeare 'Kahn's background, particularly her expertise in Hebrew linguistics and philology, allows her to move fluently between Salkinson's distinct layers of Hebrew in a way that many modern Hebrew readers no longer can.' Journal of Jewish Studies 'This is a fascinating volume from which much can be learnt about translation, differing perceptions of Shakespeare in eclectic cultures and traditions. Kahn and the publishers are to be congratulated. Hopefully their volume will receive the wide circulation and attention that it deserves.' Multicultural Shakespeare: Translation, Appropriation and Performance
