{"product_id":"shakespeare-films-peter-e-s-babiak-9781476662541","title":"Shakespeare Films: A Re-Evaluation of 100 Years of Adaptations","description":"\u003cp\u003e This study reexamines the recognized \"canon\" of films based on Shakespeare's plays, and argues that it should be broadened by breaking with two unnecessary standards: the characterization of the director as \"auteur\" of a play's screen adaptation, and the convention of excluding films with contemporary language or modern or alternative settings or which use the play as a subtext. The emphasis is shifted from the director's contribution to the film's social, cultural and historical contexts. The work of the auteurs is reevaluated within present-day contexts, preserving the established canon while proposing new criteria for inclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter E.
