It combines research in children's literature and Bourdieu's theory of cultural capital to provide a critical understanding of the status of Australian literature and its engagement with Shakespearean worlds. The book is valuable for academics, researchers, students, high school educators, and pre-service teachers interested in Shakespearean cultural theory, transnational adaptation, and literary appropriation. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 252 pages\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 29 July 2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Taylor \u0026amp; Francis Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShakespearean Spaces in Australian Literary Adaptations for Children and Young Adults delves into a comprehensive examination of Shakespearean adaptations crafted by Australian authors for children and Young Adults. Spanning a 20-year period between the late-twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, this era witnessed a remarkable diversity and productivity in adapting Shakespearean works in Australian literature. This book serves as an insightful analysis of both the Australian and international marketplaces, exploring the interplay between physical and imaginative spaces, as well as the body as a site of meaning. By examining these adaptations through the lens of cultural capital, it sheds light on how the texts are ideologically bound to and disseminate Shakespearean cultural capital in contemporary ways. By integrating current research in children's literature and Bourdieu's theory of cultural capital, this book deepens the critical understanding of the status of Australian literature, while also illuminating a corpus of literature that has been underrepresented in the existing focus on adaptations from other parts of the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOf particular interest is how these adaptations seamlessly merge Shakespearean worlds with the spaces inhabited by young people, including the classroom, the stage, the imagination, and the gendered body. This book appeals to a wide range of readers, including academics, researchers, and students specializing in children's literature studies, Shakespeare studies, and cultural theory, transnational adaptation, and literary appropriation. High school educators and pre-service teachers will also find this book invaluable as they seek to broaden and enhance their use of adaptations to engage students in Shakespearean studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 640g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 229 x 152 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032213743\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Michael Marokakis","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44104973123834,"sku":"9781032213743","price":147.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1659715600382_book.jpg?v=1659890850","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/shakespearean-spaces-in-australian-literary-adaptations-for-children-and-young-adults-9781032213743","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
