Shakespeare in Children's Literature

<p><em>Shakespeare in Children’s Literature</em> looks at the genre of Shakespeare-for-children, considering both adaptations of his plays and children’s novels in which he appears as a character. Drawing on feminist theory and sociology, Hateley demonstrates how Shakespeare for children utilizes the ongoing cultural capital of "Shakespeare," and the pedagogical aspects of children’s literature, to perpetuate anachronistic forms of identity and authority. </p> <p>List of Figures</p><p>Series Editor’s Foreword</p><p>Introduction </p><p>Chapter One: Romantic Roots: Constructing the Child as Reader, and Shakespeare as Author </p><p>Chapter Two: "Author(is)ing the Child: Shakespeare as Character" </p><p>Chapter Three: ‘Be These Juggling Fiends No More Believed’: Macbeth, Gender, and Subversion </p><p>Chapter Four: Puck vs. Hermia: A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Gender, and Sexuality </p><p>Chapter Five: ‘This Island’s Mine’: The Tempest, Gender, and Authority / Autonomy </p><p>Conclusions </p><p>Notes</p><p>Bibliography </p><p>Index </p>
