Reviews

An essential resource for English teachers who want to teach BOTH Shakespeare and young adult literature without sacrificing either. Shakespeare and Young Adult Literature: Pairing and Teaching features the Bard's most frequently taught works such as Romeo and Juliet, Julius Caesar, and Hamlet, paired with recent young adult literature. With chapters written by educators on the vanguard of young adult literature studies, this text gives teachers who love Shakespeare new ways to read the Bard and teachers who love young adult literature fresh angles to tackle contemporary issues. This is a must have book. -- Joan F. Kaywell, professor of English education, University of South Florida Not since Herz and Gallo's groundbreaking text, From Hinton to Hamlet, first appeared in 1996 have scholars addressed the connection between Shakespeare's plays and quality Young Adult Literature. The editors bring together YA scholars who inform teachers how Shakespeare's commonly taught plays pair with robust selections from YA literature. If you think your reading taste buds are too refined for YA Literature, please look at the compelling arguments contained in this volume. -- Steven T. Bickmore, Associate Professor of English Education, University of Nevada Las Vegas; curator, Dr. Bickmore's YA Wednesday Blog
