Remediating Shakespeare in the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries analyzes literary remediations of Shakespeare’s works, particularly those written for young readers. This book explores adaptations, revisions, and reimaginings by Lewis Theobald, the Bowdlers, the Lambs, and Mary Cowden Clarke, among others, to provide a theoretical account of the poetics and practices of remediating literary texts. Considering the interplay between the historical fascination with Shakespeare and these practices of adaptation, this book examines the endless attempt to mediate our relationship to Shakespeare. Howard Marchitello investigates the motivations behind various forms of remediation, ultimately expanding theories of literary adaptation and appropriation.
Описание: Uncovering the rich taxonomy of nineteenth-century vagrancy, this interdisciplinary study explores how the Victorians conceptualised poverty, mobility and homelessness.

Описание: This volume explores the politics and poetics of Victorian surfaces in their manifold manifestations. By closely reading the various surfaces materialising in Victorian literature and culture, the individual contributions explore the dialectics of surface and depth in Victorian (and Neo-Victorian) cultures as well as the legibility of surfaces.
Описание: This new, wide-ranging framework for understanding Victorian settler colonialism reveals the energetic circulation of literary forms between Australia, New Zealand and Britain. Analysis of both literary and economic texts gives students an essential grounding in the historical and political context of empire that shaped the Victorian novel.
