SHAKESPEARE ON THE SCREEN KENNETH BRANAGHS ADAP...

This study is the first monograph that is dedicated to all three of Kenneth Branagh's
Shakespeare adaptations. Unlike many other scholarly analyses of filmed literature  it focuses
on the very mechanics of adaptation  only then turning to the matter of interpretation. The
question of reception takes its place in the foreground  when the films are compared with their
originals to point out how the adaptations were done. Analytical-descriptive interpretation
builds up the framework of the detailed discussion. A thorough comparison between film and
Elizabethan theatre preceeds the exploration of Branagh's Shakespeare treatments. The author's
practical background in (screen)writing meets with her theoretical studies. The result of that
unusual encounter in academic research is a fresh and unbiased approach to Branagh's successful
adaptations  perhaps as fresh as the adaptor's approach to the classical dramatist.
