Global Shakespeare Collection

As part of the curriculum of NYU Abu Dhabi from its inception, Global Shakespeare studies have sought to take the works of one of the best-recognized names in the English literary canon, and examine what happens to those works when they are translated and performed in other languages and cultures.

The collection consists of 750 titles in over 25 different languages, ranging from earliest European language translations in the 18th century, to more contemporary versions in languages ranging from Turkish, to Maori, to Welsh.
