*takes in not only US and UK films but adaptations of Shakespeare in Europe and the Asian Diaspora
*explores a wide range of film, television, video and DVD adaptations, from Almereyda's Hamlet to animated tales, via Baz Luhrmann, Kenneth Branagh 1990s Macbeth, to name but a few
*offers fresh insight into the issues surrounding Shakespeare on film, such as the interplay between originals and adaptations, the appropriations of popular culture, questions of spectatorship, and the impact of popularization on the canonical status of 'the Bard'.
*Combining three key essays from the earlier collection with exciting new work from leading contributors, Shakespeare the Movie II offers sixteen fascinating essays. It is quite simply a must-read for any student of Shakespeare, film, media or cultural studies.
