Editorial Reviews
Review
"[A]n accessible, instructive, and internally consistent guide through the purgatorial haunts of Shakespeare's celluloid afterlives." Essays in Theatre
"The volume offers ample illustration of the variety of work engaged in by scholars who wish to study the sometimes preplexing but often stimulating marriage of Shakespeare and film." The Shakespeare Newsletter Fall 2001
"This excellent collection is very much state of the art , and may laed the state to open its borders to the wider practices of film criticism and theory." Studies in English Literature
"This is a solid reference book that can actually be read straight through and will often be consulted." Bibliotheque d' humanisme et Renaissance
Product Description
This lively Companion is a collection of critical and historical essays on the films adapted from, and inspired by, Shakespeare's plays. Leading scholars discuss Shakespearean films from a variety of perspectives--as works of art in their own right, as products of the international movie industry, in relation to cinematic and theatrical genres, and as the work of particular directors from Laurence Olivier and Orson Welles to Franco Zeffirelli and Kenneth Branagh. The volume includes strong coverage of adaptations of Hamlet, Richard III, Macbeth, King Lear and Romeo and Juliet.
