Abstract
Students in an upper-level undergraduate literature course read Restoration adaptations of Shakespearean plays and Aphra Behn’s Oroonoko; mid-18th-century prose adaptations of Pamela; and 20th- and 21st-century prose and film adaptations of Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility and Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Students first read corresponding hypotexts that influenced the adaptations. A semester of studying these texts ultimately prepares students for the course’s final project: an adaptation.
