Buhler provides concise histories of each general strategy, which include non-illusionistic cinema, documentary interpretations, mass-market productions, transgressive and transnational cinema, and approaches that see film as either distinct from the stage or as an extension of theatrical traditions. The book spans more than a century of film, starting with the 1899 King John and extending through Michael Hoffman's A Midsummer Night's Dream, Julie Taymor's Titus, and later releases.English dramaFilm adaptationsMotion picturesHistoryFilm adaptationsEnglish dramaMotion picturesHistory.Film adaptations.791.43/6Buhler Stephen M.1954-572541MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910819432303321Shakespeare in the cinema1065148UNINA
