Screen Adaptations: Romeo and Juliet : A close study of the relationship between text and film Paperback / softback
by Dr Courtney (University of the Pacific in Stockton, California, USA) Lehmann
Part of the Screen Adaptations series
Paperback / softback
Description
The Screen Adaptations series provides an in-depth look at how classic pieces of literature have been adapted for screen.
It assesses the ways in which alternative screen interpretations offer up different readings of the original text as well as the methodologies and approaches of filmmakers.
Each title in the series collects together a vast array of study material, critical insight and thought-provoking comparisons - from literary context to the afterlife of the screen versions.
Shakespeare on Film is a huge area of study and Romeo and Juliet is one of his most popular plays with many teachers using film versions as a way of approaching the text.
Focussing in the main on West Side Story and Baz Lurhmann's Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet, this is a unique and comprehensive insight into the adaptation process providing a vital study aid for students.
