Shakespeare's plays have long been open to reimagining and
reinterpretation, from John Fletcher's riposte to The Taming of the
Shrew in 1611 to present day spin-offs in a whole range of media,
including YouTube videos and Manga comics. This book offers a clear
route map through the world of adaptation, selecting examples from
film, drama, prose fiction, ballet, the visual arts and poetry, and
exploring their respective political and cultural interactions with
Shakespeare's plays. 36 specific case studies are discussed, three
for each of the 12 plays covered, offering additional guidance for
readers new to this important area of Shakespeare studies. The
introduction signals key adaptation issues that are subsequently
explored through the chapters on individual plays, including
Shakespeare's own adaptive art and its Renaissance context,
production and performance as adaptation, and generic expectation
and transmedial practice. Organized chronologically, the chapters
cover the most commonly studied plays, allowing readers to dip in
to read about specific plays or trace how technological
developments have fundamentally changed ways in which Shakespeare
is experienced. With examples encompassing British, North American,
South and East Asian, European and Middle Eastern adaptations of
Shakespeare's plays, the volume offers readers a wealth of insights
drawn from different ages, territories and media.
