Teaching Shakespearean comic book adaptations

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This article studies how graphic adaptations (such as comic books and manga) of works by William Shakespeare can be used in the teaching of English literature in various contexts, including teacher education and English as a Second Language (ESL) or English as a Foreign Language (EFL). It argues that graphic adaptations of Shakespeare have particular performative, literary, and visual qualities that make them especially well-suited to address questions about medium and genre, as well as identity, race, gender, and other such issues, in their treatments of the canon.
