Each essay focuses on local issues, such as community identification in the Netherlands of Shakespeare's time and the appropriation of Shakespeare in German literature in the nineteenth century, to suggest that Shakespeare never wrote \"in\" English because English was not then, nor is it now, an intact, knowable system. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMany languages existed in sixteenth-century London, and English did not have clear limits. \u003ci\u003eInterlinguicity, Internationality, and Shakespeare\u003c\/i\u003e helps to explain the hybridity that Shakespeare embraced in all his writing. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eContributors include Paula Blank (College of William and Mary), Lauren Coker (Saint Louis University), Brian Gingrich (Princeton University), Alexa Huang (George Washington University), James Loehlin (University of Texas at Austin), Scott Newstok (Rhodes College), Patricia Parker (Stanford University), Elizabeth Pentland (York University), Philip Schwyzer (University of Exeter), Gary Waite (University of New Brunswick), and Robert N.
