Jerzy Limon (May 24, 1950 – March 3, 2021)[1] was a Polish literary scholar, translator and writer specialising in Shakespearean and Elizabethan theatre.

When he was 12, Limon sailed on the ocean liner MS Batory to the United States and spent over a year there with his uncle in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

He wrote his master's thesis and then his doctoral dissertation under the supervision of Professor Henryk Zbierski, a historian of English literature and a Shakespearologist.

[4] Under his supervision, he explored the repertoire of London theatres in the years 1623–1624, and Cambridge University Press published his work in 1986 under the title Dangerous Matter.

[6] His main topic of study became the activity of English actors in Central and Eastern Europe in the 17th century and the Elizabethan theatre in Gdańsk.
