The influence of Shakespeare on American culture is unequivocal. And despite its youth, young adult literature has grown into a literary force majeure. Considering the widespread popularity of both Shakespeare and young adult literature, their pairing can offer teachers and students a wide array of instructional possibilities. Our collection offers secondary (6-12) educators engaging ideas and approaches for pairing Shakespeare's most frequently taught plays alongside young adult novels which often provide a unique examination of a topic that teaching a single text could not afford. The pairings offered in each chapter allow for comparisons in some cases, for extensions in others, and for critique in some.

Not since Herz and Gallo’s groundbreaking text, From Hinton to Hamlet, first appeared in 1996 have scholars addressed the connection between Shakespeare’s plays and quality Young Adult Literature. The editors bring together YA scholars who inform teachers how Shakespeare’s commonly taught plays pair with robust selections from YA literature. If you think your reading taste buds are too refined for YA Literature, please look at the compelling arguments contained in this volume.
