Shakespearean Films/Shakespearean Directors

By Peter S Donaldson

Originally published in 1990, this is a rigorous and subtle interpretation of film adaptations of Shakespeare. Drawing on traditional literary analysis, psychoanalysis, and film theory about gender and subjectivity, the author combines close readings of seven films with historical and biographical studies of the directors who made them - striking perspectives on Shakespeare, on the movies as an expressive medium, and on the complex processes of cultural change.
