Twenty-first century Juliets - Contemporary Literary Studies research seminar

Date
16/10/2024
Description
In this seminar, Midlands 4 Cities funded PhD researcher Amy Bromilow will talk through her research process with a large and varied corpus of twenty-first century women writers' novelisations of Romeo and Juliet, sharing intriguing commonalities and unexpected findings. She will demonstrate how even the most bizarre of these texts are significant in exploring Juliet as a 'relevant' icon for contemporary readers, and ultimately reveal the centrality of Shakespeare's supposed universality even amongst texts that engage with the feminist praxis of re-writing.
