This book presents essays on the best known film, television and video versions of Shakespeare's plays.
Towards the end of the 1980s it looked as if television had displaced cinema as the photographic medium for bringing Shakespeare to the modern audience. In recent years there has been a renaissance of Shakespearian cinema, including Kenneth Branagh''s Henry V and Much Ado About Nothing, Franco Zeffirelli''s Hamlet, Peter Greenaway''s Prospero''s Books and Christine Edzard''s As You Like It. In this volume a range of writers study the best known and most entertaining film, television and video versions of Shakespeare''s plays. Particular attention is given to the work of Olivier, Zeffirelli and Kurosawa, and to the BBC Television series. In addition the volume includes a survey of previous scholarship and an invaluable filmography.
