    Book description

    The third volume in the re-launched series Shakespeare on Screen is devoted to film versions and adaptations of King Lear. Bringing together an international group of scholars, the chapters provide new insights and perspectives on what constitutes 'Learness' in a range of films, TV productions, translations, free retellings and appropriations from around the world. Taking 'screen' in its broader sense, it also covers digital material such as video archives, internet movies and YouTube videos. The volume features an invaluable film-bibliography and accompanying online resources include additional essays and an expanded version of the film-bibliography.

    Reviews

    ‘… this volume provides a perfect foundation from which to disperse and dislocate Lear’s screen presence ever further.’

    Peter Kirwan Source: Cahiers Élisabéthains: A Journal of English Renaissance Studies

    ‘The empathy that pervades the latest addition to the excellent Shakespeare on Screen series is at times overwhelming … this volume provides a perfect foundation from which to disperse and dislocate Lear’s screen presence ever further.’

    Peter Kirwan Source: The Shakespeare Newsletter

    ‘The collection contains more richly suggestive essays than I have space to mention; it will be indispensable to students of King Lear. The editors’ calculated broad approach creates a collection that is more than the sum of its parts, and which is animated by a sense of conscience and compassion.’

    Sally Barnden Source: Shakespeare Bulletin
