A modern-day Taming of the Shrew that concludes at a high school
prom. An agoraphobic Olivia from Twelfth Night sending video
dispatches from her bedroom. A time-traveling teenager finding
romance in the house of Capulet. Shakespeare and Girls' Studies
posits that Shakespeare in popular culture is increasingly becoming
the domain of the adolescent girl, and engages the
interdisciplinary field of Girls' Studies to analyze adaptation and
appropriation of Shakespeare's plays in the late 20th and early
21st centuries. Through chapters on film, television, young adult
fiction, and web series aimed at girl readers and audiences, this
volume explores the impact of girl cultures and concerns on
Shakespeare's afterlife in popular culture and the classroom.
Shakespeare and Girls' Studies argues that girls hold a central
place in Shakespearean adaptation, and that studying Shakespeare
through the lens of contemporary girlhoods can generate new
approaches to Renaissance literature as well as popular culture
aimed at girls and young people of marginalized genders. Drawing on
contemporary cultural discourses ranging from Abstinence-Only Sex
Education and Shakespeare in the US Common Core to rape culture and
coming out, this book addresses the overlap between Shakespeare's
timeless girl heroines and modern popular cultures that embrace
figures like Juliet and Ophelia to understand and validate the
experiences of girls. Shakespeare and Girls' Studies theorizes
Shakespeare's past and present cultural authority as part of an
intersectional approach to adaptation in popular culture.
