Why We Keep Retelling the Classics (Feat. Princess Weekes) | It's Lit

Take the PBS Digital Studios audience survey: https://to.pbs.org/2021survey For more It’s Lit, subscribe to Storied: http://bit.ly/pbsstoried_sub From James Joyce’s Ulysses to Bridget Jones’s Diary, you’ve probably read a book that was just a modern retelling of a well-established story. Which is to say nothing of other forms of media and their own obsessions with retellings. And despite what your Writing 101 instincts might tell you, this is neither bad nor lazy writing—or even a new concept. Because let’s be honest: sometimes a story is just so dang good, it bears repeating. Sometimes more than once. Sometimes multiple times. I’m looking at you, Jane Austen. Hosted by Lindsay Ellis and Princess Weekes, It’s Lit! is a show about our favorite books, genres and why we love to read. It’s Lit has been made possible in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities: Exploring the human endeavor. Hosted by: Princess Weekes Written by: Angelina Meehan Director: David Schulte Executive Producer: Amanda Fox Producer: Stephanie Noone Editor: Steven Simone Writing Consultants: Maia Krause, PhD Assistant Director of Programming (PBS): Gabrielle Ewing Executives in Charge (PBS): Adam Dylewski, Jess Kasza Produced by Spotzen for PBS Digital Studios.
