Produktbeschreibung

Shakespeare's plays continue to be circulated on a massive scale in a variety of guises - as editions, performances, and adaptations - and it is by means of such mediation that we come to know his drama. This title addresses fundamental questions about this process of mediation, making use of the fraught category of adaptation.

Shakespeare and the Problem of Adaptation addresses fundamental questions about the process of mediation, making use of the fraught category of adaptation to explore how we currently understand the Shakespearean work. Margaret Jane Kidnie argues that 'play' and 'adaptation' are provisional categories - mutually dependent processes that evolve over time in accordance with the needs of users.
