This Concise Companion presents a multidisciplinary range of approaches to a vast multimedia subject, Shakespeare on screen. The book's contributors use the latest thinking from cultural studies, communications, and comparative media, in dialogue with literary, theatrical, and filmic approaches, in order to push the field forward. They consider Shakespeare on screen not only as a set of finished products but also as a process. For this reason, the volume is organized around topics such as authorship and collaboration, theatricality, sex and violence, globalization, and history. The Concise Companion offers readers a variety of accessible routes into Shakespeare on screen and supports further study of the subject through the inclusion of a bibliography, a chronological chart, and a thorough index. At the same time, it serves as a focal point for exploring fundamental issues in the study of literature and culture more broadly, such as the relationships between elite and popular culture, art and the marketplace, text, image, and performance.

"This superb collection of essays takes the study ofShakespeare on film to a whole new level, telling us where thediscipline has reached and where we can go from here. From problemsof film-acting and gender to cross-culturalism and pixelvision, thebook covers an enormous range of approaches as it considers thefull gamut of Shakespeare films (old and new; good, bad andindifferent). It may be a 'Concise Companion' but thereis nothing skimped here; instead, the collection is as rich andprovocative as one could imagine and as exhilarating as the filmsthemselves." Peter Holland, University of NotreDame
