Adapting King Lear for the stage. |
| Резюме: |
Exploring whether the impulse to adapt Shakespeare has changed over time, Lynne Bradley argues for restoring a sense of historicity to the study of adaptation. Bradley compares adaptations of King Lear from the seventeenth through the nineteenth centuries to twentieth-century rewritings of the play, suggesting modern Shakespeare adaptations represent a unique genre that permits playwrights to acknowledge their literary heritage while articulating more modern subject positions and participating in broader debates about art and society. |
