Retellings of Classic Literature

Whether it be a feminist retelling of an ancient myth, fairy tale or classic novel (very much in vogue right now), a well-known story told from another perspective, a plot updated to a modern/representative setting, or a prequel/sequel/spin-off by a different author, famous characters in new stories: putting a fresh spin on things has never been more popular.
