Studying Shakespeare on Film Reviews

'Comprehensive, reliable and authoritative.' - Robert Shaughnessy, University of Kent, UK 'Hindle's Studying Shakespeare on Film is a storehouse of pedagogical resources and interpretive riches. At once encyclopedic in scope and finely textured in detail, this cinematically literate volume takes Shakespeare films seriously as films. It deftly shows students the way to do the same.' - Richard Rambuss, Emory University, USA '... [A] surprisingly approachable examination of the Bard on screen...' - Film Review 'Maurice Hindle's study is comprehensive and well-grounded; it is a remarkable guide for students exploring some of the most exciting and influential Shakespeare adaptations; it introduces the reader to detailed critical knowledge and demonstrates the use of filmic language when analysing and discussing Shakespeare on screen.' - Hans Schwarze, Learning, Media and Technology
