Answer
Shakespeare, the renowned English playwright, had his works translated by August Wilhelm Schlegel, a German literary critic and translator. Schlegel's translations of Shakespeare's plays, particularly "Hamlet," "Romeo and Juliet," and "Macbeth," were highly influential in introducing Shakespeare to German-speaking audiences and shaping the reception of his works in Europe. Schlegel's translations were praised for their accuracy, elegance, and ability to capture the essence of Shakespeare's language and characters.
