Who was Xespir? Why are Catalan adaptations and performances of Shakespeare causing such a stir internationally? This work tells the history of Shakespeare's translation and reception in Catalonia, showing his importance for Catalan cultural regeneration since the 19th-century and his contribution to the vibrancy of contemporary Catalan culture.

This is not just another book about Shakespeare. While it does reveal the existence of yet another “alternative” Shakespeare, it also takes the legendary man of letters beyond English-speaking shores in order to illustrate the diverse effects of translation in creating and deciding the afterlives of canonical texts. By focusing on a minority language spoken by 6.5 million speakers yet still only partially recognized by the Spanish government, Shakespeare in Catalan tells us a story of the Bard as both a counter-imperialist deployed against colonial domination and a universal imperialist used to wield cultural authority.
