The Shakespeare Newsletter Fall 2001 "This excellent collection is very much state of the art , and may laed the state to open its borders to the wider practices of film criticism and theory." Studies in English Literature "This is a solid reference book that can actually be read straight through and will often be consulted." Bibliotheque d' humanisme et Renaissance Read more...
