Book Presentation:
In this volume, leading scholars assess the contribution of four major film directors to the afterlife and reception of Shakespeare and his plays. Focusing on the work of Orson Welles, Akira Kurosawa, Grigori Kozintsev and Franco Zeffirelli, each essay assesses the double impact of Shakespeare on the film director covered and of the film director on the understanding, interpretation and appreciation of Shakespeare.
