About this product
Product Information
Shakespeare and the English-speaking Cinema is a lively, authoritative, and innovative overview of the ways in which Shakespeare's plays have been adapted for cinema. Organised by topics rather than chronology, it offers detailed commentary on significant films, including both 'mainstream' and 'canonical' works by such directors as Laurence Olivier, Orson Welles, Franco Zeffirelli, and Kenneth Branagh, and such ground-breaking movies as Derek Jarman's The Tempest, Baz Luhrmann's William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet and Peter Greenaway's Prospero's Books. Chapters on the location of films in place and time, the effect of this on characterisation, and issues of gender and political power are followed by a discussion of work that goes 'beyond Shakespeare. A filmography and suggestions for further reading complete this stimulating, fresh, and accessible account of an important aspect of Shakespeare studies.

Reviews
"Compact and well written, Jackson's study serves as an excellent entrée into the world of Shakespearean film adaptation, identifying key elements of adaptation and in so doing laying a strong foundation for further study of the subject. ... Highly recommended." --CHOICE"Russell Jackson is an elder statesman of Shakespeare on film. His authoritative tone in Shakespeare and the English-Speaking Cinema is supremely well earned. [T]he sense, in this book, is of a master secure in his own knowledge articulating his remarkable understanding of the field rather than wading into any disciplinary quarrels. The result is a highly readable account that, unusually, considers Shakespeare on film transversally. One could read this and develop a very strong sense, from a trusted expert, of the filmography that each of the other books under review are, in one way or another, defining themselves against." -Shakespeare Bulletin, "Compact and well written, Jackson's study serves as an excellent entrée into the world of Shakespearean film adaptation, identifying key elements of adaptation and in so doing laying a strong foundation for further study of the subject. ...
