International Faust Studies by Lorna Fitzsimmons
This major interdisciplinary collection captures the vitality and increasingly global significance of the Faust figure in literature, theatre and music. Bringing together scholars from around the world, International Faust Studies examines questions of adaptation, reception and translation centering on Faust discourse in a diversity of cultural contexts, including the Chinese, Japanese, Indian, African, Brazilian and Canadian, as well as the European, British and American. It broadens the field by including studies of lesser known or neglected Faust discourse, including the translation of Goethe's Faust recently attributed to Coleridge, in addition to the canonical.
'An outstanding contribution to our understanding of how and why the myth of Faustus has evolved over many centuries and adapted itself to the temper of successive cultures" - Professor Osman Durrani, School of European Culture and Languages, University of Kent at Canterbury Reviewed in The Journal of Theatre Research International, Vol 35/2 - 2010 'The collection ... manages to make ... a very strong contribution to a field that has already been very much studied.' In tracing Faust's epic journey in discourses, music and on stage Lorna Fitzsimmons prepared a magnificent volume offering informative, rich and well-researched essays... the essays are meticulously researched and admirably edited The European Legacy, Vol. 15, No. 7
