Summary:	"Shakespeare in Catalan: Translating Imperialism tells the history of Shakespeare's translation and reception in Catalonia, showing his importance for Catalan cultural regeneration since the nineteenth century and his contribution to the renewed vibrancy of contemporary Catalan culture." "It focuses on a minority language, estimated to be spoken by over 6.5 million speakers; and a minority culture, that is still only partially recognized within the Spanish State itself, let alone beyond Spain's borders. It tells the story of a minority Shakespeare employed to achieve cultural majority; of a 'universal', imperial Shakespeare used to wield cultural authority; and of a rebellious, counter-imperialist Shakespeare deployed against colonial domination."--BOOK JACKET.
