The Narrator as Mediator and Explicator in Victorian and Edwardian Retellings of Shakespeare for Children by Laura Tosi

“…Charles and Mary Lamb’s Tales from Shakespeare (1807) was the first English attempt to mediate and remediate Shakespeare in fictional form for children, a form which relied on a narrator who often appropriates the characters’ words as their own and intrudes with comments and interpretations, so that out of the multitude of (often contradictory) viewpoints offered by the plays, a unified version of character and plot is presented to the child reader. …”
