The translations of the complete dramas of William Shakespeare now known as the "Schlegel/Tieck" translations were begun by August Wilhelm Schlegel in 1797 and continued by Ludwig Tieck, his daughter Dorothea, and Wolf Heinrich von Bauddissin in the 1820s. They have now become a classic text of German literature. These proceedings encompass the latest research, which contextually re-evaluates those translations.
