Shakespearean performances regularly take place at both historic sites and　locations with complex resonances, such as Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre in London and the royal castle of Hamlet – Elsinore – in Denmark. The present issue of the Shakespeare International Yearbook examines the impact of specificities such as festivals and performance sites on our understanding of Shakespeare and globalization. Contributions survey the present state of Shakespeare studies and address issues that are fundamental to our interpretive encounter with Shakespeare''s work and his time, across the whole spectrum of his literary output.

Across the sites that these essays explore, scholars illustrate the complexity and diversity of this globally relevant and recognized Shakespeare – to understand the reproduction of his plays in the twenty-first century in those places well-known and often recognized for their contributions to contemporary knowledge of the works, but also in geographic and historical contexts less often acknowledged or explored. The Special Section “Shakespeare on Site” examines, then, how cultural performances of many kinds contribute to the experiences and meanings of place – whether local, regional, or national – and how these different practices elaborate our notions of what has come to be called, both in popular and scholarly discourses, “global Shakespeare.”
