The book presents a systematic method of interpreting Shakespeare
film adaptations based on their cinematic genres. Its approach is
both scholarly and reader-friendly, and its subject is
fundamentally interdisciplinary, combining the findings of
Shakespeare scholarship with film and media studies, particularly
genre theory. The book is organised into six large chapters,
discussing films that form broad generic groups. Part I looks at
three genres from the classical Hollywood era (western, melodrama
and gangster-noir), while Part II deals with three contemporary
blockbuster genres (teen film, undead horror and biopic). Beside a
few better-known examples of mainstream cinema, the volume also
highlights the Shakespearean elements in several nearly forgotten
films, bringing them back to critical attention. -- .
