Shakespeare and Film: A Norton Guide

Endorsements

"An engagingly written roadmap to Shakespeare on film by an enthusiastic, witty, and utterly reliable guide. I recommend this book to students new to the field, to teachers who teach screen Shakespeare regularly, and to anyone curious about insightful analysis of Shakespeare on film."
—Douglas Lanier, University of New Hampshire

"As a screenwriter I come across a lot of film analysis, but rarely done with the sensitivity of Samuel Crowl. A writer of great style and wit and always provocative in his opinions, no one is better on the trends, triumphs, and heartbreaks of Shakespeare movie adaptations."
—John Logan, Academy Award-nominated screenwriter, The Aviator and Gladiator

"An intelligent book, not only full of helpful information but lucidly organized and beautifully written. The tone is so appealing."
—Sharon Hamilton, author of Shakespeare’s Daughters and Shakespeare: A Teaching Guide
