The Arden Research Handbook of Shakespeare and Adaptation Summary

The Arden Research Handbook of Shakespeare and Adaptation by Diana E. Henderson (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA)

The Arden Research Handbook of Shakespeare and Adaptation explores the dynamics of adapted Shakespeare across a range of literary genres and new media forms. This comprehensive reference and research resource maps the field of Shakespeare adaptation studies, identifying theories of adaptation, their application in practice and the methodologies that underpin them. It investigates current research and points towards future lines of enquiry for students, researchers and creative practitioners of Shakespeare adaptation. The opening section on research methods and problems considers definitions and theories of Shakespeare adaptation and emphasises how Shakespeare is both adaptor and adapted. A central section develops these theoretical concerns through a series of case studies that move across a range of genres, media forms and cultures to ask not only how Shakespeare is variously transfigured, hybridised and valorised through adaptational play, but also how adaptations produce interpretive communities, and within these potentially new literacies, modes of engagement and sensory pleasures. The volumes third section provides the reader with uniquely detailed insights into creative adaptation, with writers and practice-based researchers reflecting on their close collaborations with Shakespeares works as an aesthetic, ethical and political encounter. The Handbook further establishes the conceptual parameters of the field through detailed, practical resources that will aid the specialist and non-specialist reader alike, including a guide to research resources and an annotated bibliography.

The Arden Research Handbook of Shakespeare and Adaptation Reviews

A treasure trove for those interested in the re-tellings of Shakespeares work. * Shakespeare Survey *
Featuring a breath-taking array of examples and interventions, The Arden Research Handbook of Shakespeare and Adaptation is a stellar accomplishment. Embracing the full gamut of forms of adaptation, it ranges widely over theatre, poetry, film, fiction, television, and digital/media platforms, mapping a multiplicity of venues and celebrating the vitality of Shakespeare as a catalysing force. Context- and culture-specific, the case-studies offer a range of entry points into the field, whether through discussions of method, analyses of ideology, prioritisation of authorial voice or the ignition of global conversations. Crucially, as the intersecting chapters unfold, we are encouraged to participate in debate and reflect on Shakespeares past, present and future iterations. The generous provision of resources (sites and tools) is a particularly attractive feature. Above all, this is a Handbook that showcases the value of adaptation as practice and object of scholarly enquiry. As such, it is refreshing, revealing, and abundantly creative indispensable. * Mark Thornton Burnett, Queens University Belfast, UK *
This handbook reframes the subject of Shakespeare and Adaptation for a new generation of scholars. It combines what the editors call a big tent vision of Shakespeare adaptation studies with sharp focus on individual case studies, theoretical problems and themes that illuminate the range and vitality of Shakespeare-inspired adaptations. Leaving classificatory concerns behind, the volume focuses on work concerned with intermediality and appropriation, drawing additional critical energy from translation studies. This is a book that will inspire and guide a new generation of adaptation scholars interested in global challenges, social justice and how to do new things with Shakespeare. * Pascale Aebischer, University of Exeter, UK *
The Arden Research Handbook of Shakespeare and Adaptation positions adaptation as fundamental to Shakespeare studies today and the lifeblood of its future, through its spotlighting and championing of the important research being carried out on Shakespeare adaptation across the world. This is an essential volume for anyone working on contemporary Shakespeare, and will no doubt remain a rewarding resource within the field for many years to come * Ben Broadribb, Shakespeare Bulletin, Vol. 41, no. 1 (Spring 2023) *
