“…For discussion of these Psalm translations seeWort (2016a).20 The 1875 edition of this manuscript, by Macray, is not always accurate in transcription and almost wholly without commentary, but has a helpful Introduction, including a listing of Forrest's manuscripts. For a recent discussion of the date of the work seeWort (2016b).21 Wort (2017) suggests that these manuscripts contain different versions of the text, but does not present evidence for this view.22 Edited byKeenan (1960); see Dissertation AbstractsInternational, 21 (1960), p. 1555.…”

This article tries to provide a thorough analysis of Nikolai Leskov's rewriting of Lady Macbeth, the Shakespearean character, in the novella Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District, from the perspective of Translation and Adaptation Studies. The focus will be placed on the ideology of the author who, with full knowledge, rewrites a previous work to adapt it to a specific context. Apart from Leskov's work, attention will be also paid to two of its subsequent adaptations: Dmitri Shostakovich's homonymous opera and William Oldroyd's filmic version, Lady Macbeth.Finally, the importance of these processes for the development of target literary systems will be discussed and emphasized.
