About this book
This book explores the appropriation of Shakespeare by youth culture and the expropriation of youth culture in the manufacture and marketing of 'Shakespeare'. Considering the reduction, translation and referencing of the plays and the man, the volume examines the confluence between Shakepop and rock, rap, graphic novels, teen films and pop psychology.

' 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, USA
