| Summary: |
A study of the appropriation of Shakespeare by youth culture. _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. |
