Film adaptations of Shakespeare's plays are increasingly popular
and now figure prominently in the study of his work and its
reception. This Companion is a lively collection of critical and
historical essays on the films adapted from, and inspired by,
Shakespeare's plays. Chapters have been revised and updated from
the first edition to include the most recent films and scholarship.
An international team of 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; and as the
work of particular directors from Laurence Olivier and Orson Welles
to Franco Zeffirelli and Kenneth Branagh. They also consider
specific issues such as the portrayal of Shakespeare's women and
the supernatural. The emphasis is on feature films for cinema,
rather than television, with strong coverage of Hamlet, Richard
III, Macbeth, King Lear and Romeo and Juliet.
