The relationship between modern drama and Shakespeare remains
intense and fruitful, as Shakespearian themes continue to permeate
contemporary plays, films, and other art-forms.
Shakespeare/Adaptation/Modern Drama is the first book-length
international study to examine the critical and theatrical
connections among these fields, including the motivations, methods,
and limits of adaptation in modern performance media.
Top scholars including Peter Holland, Alexander Leggatt, Brian
Parker, and Stanley Wells examine such topics as the relationship
between Shakespeare and modern drama in the context of current
literary theories and historical accounts of adaptive and
appropriative practices. Among the diverse and intriguing examples
studied are the authorial self-adaptations of Tom Stoppard and
Tennessee Williams, and the generic and political appropriations of
Shakespeare's texts in television, musical theatre, and memoir.
This illuminating and theoretically astute tribute to Renaissance
and modern drama scholar Jill Levenson will stimulate further
research on the evolving adaptive and intertextual relationships
between influential literary works and periods.
