This close study of film adaptations of "King Lear "looks
at
several different versions (mainstream, art-house and
cinematic
'offshoots') and discusses: the literary text in its
historical
context, key themes and dominant readings of the text, how the text
is
adapted for screen and how adaptations have changed our reading of
the
original text.
There are many references to the literary text and screenplays
and
the book also features quotations from directors and critics. There
is
plenty of discursive material here to support student work on both
film
and literature courses.
