The National Canon and the National Theatre: adaptation, (re)telling and national identity

这个项目研究了国家剧院（NT）自2007年以来的文学改编。围绕四个案例研究（“弗兰肯斯坦”，“小岛”，“哲基尔和海德”，和“战马”）我的研究将询问这些文本是，或已经成为文学经典的一部分，并检查他们的相互作用与国家身份的概念。它将确定这种适应如何进入（国际）国家意识，并检查NT对GCSE和A Level研究文本的影响。这项研究将推进关于这一机构在创造21世纪世纪多元化国家叙事中的作用的讨论。

This project examines literary adaptations by the National Theatre (NT) since 2007. Centred on four case studies ('Frankenstein', 'Small Island', 'Jekyll and Hyde', and 'War Horse') my research will interrogate the way in which these texts are, or have become, part of the literary canon and examine their interplay with concepts of national identity. It will determine how such adaptations have entered an (inter)national consciousness and examine the influence of the NT on texts studied at GCSE and A Level. The research will advance discussion about the role of this institution in creating the narrative of a diverse nation in the 21st century.
