Table of ContentsReviewsA treasure trove for those interested in the re-tellings of Shakespeare’s 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 Shakespeare’s 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, Queen’s 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) * Author InformationDiana E.
