Team

Research group

The Team responsible for the collection Shakespeare in Polish by UW – 19th Century Module was put together as part of the Repository of Polish Translations of Shakespeare’s Plays: Resources, Approaches, Reception (UMO-2015/17/B/HS2/01784), a project financed by the National Science Centre and completed between 2016 and 2019 in the Faculty of Modern Languages at Warsaw University .

The project was directed by Professor Anna Cetera-Włodarczyk, in collaboration with two doctoral students, Alicja Kosim (2016-2019) and Marta Radwańska (2016-January 2017). In 2018 the project secured further funding (Repository of Polish Translations of Shakespeare’s Plays in the 20th and 21st Centuries: Resources, Approaches, Reception, UMO-2017/27/B/HS2/00853), and a new Team, under the same leadership, was formed by Anna Jaworska (2018-September 2019), Przemysław Pożar and Mateusz Godlewski. In March 2019, both Teams created the working group Szekspir w kulturze / Shakespeare in Culture affiliated to the Faculty of Modern Languages at Warsaw University .

From December 2016 there was close collaboration with the Digital Competence Centre of the University of Warsaw which handled the digital infrastructure for both Projects.

Collaborators

The graphic designer for all elements of the collection Shakespeare in Polish by UW is Mateusz Kowalski.

The English-language version of the website was translated by Jonathan Baines and Piotr Szymczak.

Acknowledgements

The collection Shakespeare in Polish by UW comprises thousands of pages and reflects not only the large number of translations, but also the multiplicity of editorial and publishing approaches, and – notwithstanding the easy access provided by digitalisation – the material conditions of the publications, whose pages are now yellow and brittle with age.

We warmly thank Martyna Marcinkowska from the National Library (Biblioteka Narodowa) for her invaluable help in digitalising the Shakespeare collections, and also Professor Maciej Buszewicz, for a font that brings the feel of paper to these digital files.
