- This Cambridge University Press monograph examines for the first time cinematic adaptations of Hamlet beyond the UK/US axis. The study shifts the conventional axis of interpretation to consider thirty adaptations from across the world, dividing content into different nations/regions to offer a range of interpretive approaches. The book rigorously combines film theory, archival work, contextualisation of film industries and reception, and interviews with directors and cast. Its significance resides in its recovery of neglected and original examples, including ‘lost’ films, the support of several funders (Being Human/Folger Shakespeare Library) and its radical reimagining of the field of Shakespearean afterlives.
