Publisher's Synopsis
From canonical movies to web series, this volume provides fresh insights into the myriad forms of Romeo and Juliet on screen around the world. Ranging far beyond the Anglo-American sphere, the international cast of contributors explore translations, adaptations, free re-tellings and appropriations from India, France, Italy and Japan and demonstrate the constant evolution of technologies in the production, reception and dissemination of 'Shakespeare on screen'. The volume is complemented by helpful online essays and an extended online film-bibliography which guides readers through the often overwhelming range of filmic resources now available, providing valuable resources for research and pedagogy.
