Shakespeare, Film Studies, and the Visual Cultures of Modernity

By Anthony Guneratne

This book is the first in-depth cultural history of cinema's polyvalent and often contradictory appropriations of Shakespearean drama and performance traditions. The author argues that these adapatations have helped shape multiple aspects of film, from cinematic style to genre and narrative construction.
