vls/2603nrwcece.visuallibrary.netvdPlayfulness in Shakespearean adaptationsGerzic, MarinaedtHerausgeberNorrie, AidanedtHerausgebertextbookNew YorkRoutledge20202020monographicengpages cm"Four hundred years after William Shakespeare's death, his works continue to not only fill playhouses around the world, but also be adapted in various forms for consumption in popular culture, including in film, television, comics and graphic novels, and digital media. Drawing on theories of play and adaptation, Playfulness in Shakespearean Adaptations demonstrates how the practices of Shakespearean adaptations are frequently products of playful, and sometimes irreverent, engagements that allow new 'Shakespeares' to emerge, revealing Shakespeare's ongoing impact in popular culture. Significantly, this collection explores the role of play in the construction of meaning in Shakespearean adaptations-adaptations of both the works of Shakespeare, and of Shakespeare the man-and contributes to the growing scholarly interest in playfulness both past and present. The chapters in Playfulness in Shakespearean Adaptations engage with the diverse ways that play is used in Shakespearean adaptations on stage, screen, and page, examining how these adaptations draw out existing humour in Shakespeare's works, the ways that play is used as a pedagogical aid to help explain complex language, themes, and emotions found in Shakespeare's works, and more generally how play and playfulness can make Shakespeare 'relatable,' 'relevant,' and entertaining for successive generations of audiences and readers"--edited by Marina Gerzic and Aidan NorrieIncludes bibliographical references and indexShakespeare, William / 1564-1616 / Adaptations / History and criticismPlay in literature|PR2880.A1KXP1694511685978-0-367-25646-39780429288807HT020462907Routledge studies in Shakespeare41HT0163237146101ango86700.g38846620200526148214101rda https://ce.visuallibrary.net//domainresource/static/graphics/connectors/viewerLogo.gif http://193.30.112.129:83/F/?func=find-c&ccl_term=ICS%3D148214101+X0001 https://ce.visuallibrary.net/id/1061485 https://ce.visuallibrary.net/i3f/v20/1061485/manifest https://ce.visuallibrary.net/proto_ftsearch/1061485
