Reviews
"Compact and well written, Jackson's study serves as an excellent entrée into the world of Shakespearean film adaptation, identifying key elements of adaptation and in so doing laying a strong foundation for further study of the subject. ... Highly recommended." --CHOICE"Russell Jackson is an elder statesman of Shakespeare on film. His authoritative tone in Shakespeare and the English-Speaking Cinema is supremely well earned. [T]he sense, in this book, is of a master secure in his own knowledge articulating his remarkable understanding of the field rather than wading into any disciplinary quarrels. The result is a highly readable account that, unusually, considers Shakespeare on film transversally. One could read this and develop a very strong sense, from a trusted expert, of the filmography that each of the other books under review are, in one way or another, defining themselves against." -Shakespeare Bulletin, "Compact and well written, Jackson's study serves as an excellent entrée into the world of Shakespearean film adaptation, identifying key elements of adaptation and in so doing laying a strong foundation for further study of the subject. ...
