KlappentextThis book explores the appropriation of Shakespeare by youth culture and the expropriation of youth culture in the manufacture and marketing of 'Shakespeare'.
ZusammenfassungCOMPREHENSIVE: The book moves beyond cinema (the primary focus in other related books) to focus on many different aspects of youth culture: music, toys, graphic novels, pop psychology, etc. RELATABLE: For classes that engage the idea of Shakespeare in the contemporary context, this book engages students on their own level, referring to recognizable bands, television programs, and films. In other words, it brings Shakespeare to the student rather than forcing the student to Shakespeare. ACCESIBLE: Rather than focusing merely on individual adaptations, the volume also focuses on "Shakespeare the concept," allowing students to see how their own media and culture reinscribes and reinvents Shakespeare for their generation.

Kritik
' Shakespeare and Youth Culture provides fascinating analysis of the interplay between the Bard's works and a wide array of cultural artifacts, film, rock music, hip hop, toys, comics, graphic novels, pop psychology, that constitute Shakespeare's 'after-life' in post-modern culture. Its perceptive examination of Shakespeare's influence on youth culture and youth culture's role in the current construction of Shakespeare's plays makes it mandatory reading for high school and college educators, cultural critics, and anyone with an interest in Shakespeare's impact on contemporary culture.' - Lisa McDonnell, Denison University, USAmehr
