Insubstantial Pageant: Adapting Shakespeare in Two Texts from the Hogarth Shakespeare Project
Original language description
This article focuses on two novels by women writers from the Hogarth Shakespeare project. The books are Vinegar Girl by Anne Tyler based on The Taming of the Shrew and Margaret Atwood’s Hag-Seed drawing inspiration from The Tempest. The project was launched with great fanfare and with high anticipation on the part of readers and critics, this being a result of not only the two above-mentioned writers, but also the involvement of renowned figures such as Jeanette Winterson, Howard Jacobson and Jo Nesbø, among others. The combination of the canonical source material and the highly respected and awarded contributors arguably proved to be more of a curse in the end than a blessing as the expectations were inevitably unrealistic. The article posits whether these expectations were justified and whether adaptations along these lines are of particular value in the end.
