An innovative introductory textbook to adaptations of Shakespeare on screen, written by two highly experienced and well respected US academics.
Fills a gap in the market by concentrating mainly on the ‘new wave’ of Shakespeare adaptations – such as those by Baz Luhrmann, Peter Greenaway – which are widely taught but have been under-studied in textbooks to date.
Introduces students to the new vocabulary – taken from film theory and digital media studies – needed to engage with these ground breaking adaptations.
Traces the relationship of the new wave of adaptations to the more classic Shakespeare films of Branagh and co.
A highly trendy, cutting edge book which is very adoptable.
