engage attention. The problem was first
attacked by Schroeder Of Hamburg. the
most eminent German actor Of tho day.
but his efforts were hampered by the lack
Of good translation.
Aside from Borck's isolated Alexandrine
version Of Julius Cesar" u74D. the
Germans nrst became acquainted with
Shakespeare in their own language through
the version Of Wieland. who issued trans
iation OF twenty-five plays between 1850
and 1865 The task was not taken very
seriously by the translator and was In
differently done. Not only did he substi-
tute prose for verse excepting tho Mid
summer Nights Dreamy, but hs allowed
himself TO omit, transpose and condense IN
accordance with his own 0allic taste. The
result was Shalxespeares sense without the
glory Of his diction.
In 1916 Eschenburg published . revised

tion OF the remaining plays. This first

good hackwork for the time, but hopelessly
inadequate for the stage.

little theatre at Wemar. and ere long he
began to lean heavily upon the Judgment

and the better Judge ~ dramatic effective
ness AS they were both fervid admirers
Of Shakespeare It was natural that they
should wish TO try him on the Weimar
stage. They chose Macbeth" for the ex
pertinent. and Schiller made a metrical
version Of his own.
His knowledge Of English was rather I'm
perfect, 40 he used Eschenburg for hls
foundation and the English text for COM
pariSon. The result was a decent Mac

II not a masterpiece Of translation. Con-
adorable liberties were taken with the
text, and the changes made now seem for
tho most part unlucky. albeit Schiller, was
a better Judge than any one can now be As
to what would go best on the Weimar stage
in the year 1900. Schiler's work is very
much better than the feckless version Of

prepared for the Weimar boards in 1911.
