2020-2021 Catalog

EWL 345 Shakespeare and Film

This class provides students the opportunity to study the plays of Shakespeare and how they have been adapted to film in a global context. While we are only looking at a few plays together, we are watching several movies from different times and national contexts. Students will also do independent work in this class to see other films and read additional Shakespeare plays and discuss their adaptations. We will read film theory, discuss the history of translating Shakespeare to film, and look at the implications of translating Shakespeare into other cultures, time periods and media.
