Annotation:
	Analyzes translations of Shakespeare by Shōyō (1859-1935), with an emphasis on their early twentieth-century contexts, aesthetics, language (including meter, archaisms, "phonetic glossing," and repetition), and performance traditions (thinking about kabuki, stage directions, and performance histories). Offers three important productions as case studies: Bungei Kyōkai's Hamlet (1911), Katō Chōji's Twelfth Night (1928), and Aoyama Sugisaku and Hijikata Yoshi's Midsummer Night's Dream (1928).
