{"product_id":"adaptation-in-young-adult-novels-dana-e-lawrence-9781501361777","title":"Adaptation in Young Adult Novels: Critically Engaging Past and Present","description":"\u003ci\u003eAdaptation in Young Adult Novels\u003c\/i\u003e argues that adapting classic and canonical literature and historical places engages young adult readers with their cultural past and encourages them to see how that past can be rewritten. The textual afterlives of classic texts raise questions for new readers: What can be changed? What benefits from change? How can you, too, be agents of change?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe contributors to this volume draw on a wide range of contemporary novels - from Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson series and Megan Shepherd's Madman's Daughter trilogy to Jesmyn Ward's \u003ci\u003eSalvage the Bones\u003c\/i\u003e - adapted from mythology, fairy tales, historical places, and the literary classics of Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, and F. Scott Fitzgerald, among others. Unpacking the new perspectives and critiques of gender, sexuality, and the cultural values of adolescents inherent to each adaptation, the essays in this volume make the case that literary adaptations are just as valuable as original works and demonstrate how the texts studied empower young readers to become more culturally, historically, and socially aware through the lens of literary diversity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dana E.
