Summary:

"Beginning by investigating Shakespeare as a serial writer, this open access book moves to case studies involving literary and dramatic adaptations, to more modern theatrical serializations of his plays. Culminating in analysis of adaptations of Shakespeare in TV series including Succession and Station 11, this book explores Shakespeare's seriality from the perspective of political theory, phenomenology, psychoanalysis and literary and cultural theory."-- Provided by publisher.
