- Adaptation 15 (2022): 7-21.
- Description
- Explores how the 2003 BBC adaptation of MLT and Patience Agbabi's "Telling Tales" (2004) "respond to the xenophobic and imperialist ideology of the original," challenging the relationship that MLT "posits between familial and national loyalties," reconfiguring "racial, familial, and religious identity," and confronting audiences with the importance of remembering as well as interrogating the past. Links the narratives with representations of Thomas Jefferson's "role as father and forebear" and Chaucer’s as "father" of English poetry.
