Shakespeare Made Fit: Restoration Adaptations of Shakespeare

by Sandra Clark (editor), Rick Clark

The amendments made to Shakespeare's plays in Cibber's Richard III; Dryden's and Davenant's The Tempest; Dryden's All for Love; Tate's King Lear; and the lesser-known Sauny the Scot, or The Taming of the Shrew by Lacy reflect timely attitudes towards gender, marriage and politics. The plays illustrate historical attitudes towards the province of adaptation, and reveal Shakespeare as the Restoration audiences-and centuries afterward-knew him.
