Shakespeare on Screen: Othello Reviews

'Shakespeare on Screen: Othello overturns conventional narratives about this play's life on screen. Hatchuel and Vienne-Guerrin curate a volume that treats Othello as a truly international text, privileging little-known meta-narratives alongside mainstream Western cinema. Essays unpack the adaptations' engagement with domestic violence, racial prejudice and sexual politics, making this the most vital and thorough treatment available of the play's contemporary resonance.' Peter Kirwan, University of Nottingham
'The volume, an impressive grappling with films that range from those in a classic realist mode, through modernist pastiche and postcolonialism and postmodernism, will become an inspiring and necessary handbook for countless scholars and students.' Michael Hattaway, Cahiers Elisabethains: A Journal of English Renaissance Studies
