About the Authors
  • The first volume in the re-launched series Shakespeare on Screen is devoted to Othello, offering up-to-date coverage of recent screen versions as well as new critical essays on older, canonical films. An international cast of authors explores not only productions from the USA and UK, but also translations, adaptations and appropriations in Québec, Italy, India, Brazil and Mexico. The volume takes part in the ceaseless cultural investigation of what Othello says about Shakespeare, the past and our present time, supported by an invaluable film-bibliography. Accompanying free online resources include a fuller version of the bibliography and an additional contribution on YouTube versions of Othello. This book will be a valuable resource for students, scholars and teachers of film studies and Shakespeare studies.

    Reviews & endorsements

    "Shakespeare on Screen: Othello overturns conventional narratives about this play's life on screen. Hatchuel and Vienne-Guerrin curate a volume that treats Othello as a truly international text, privileging little-known meta-narratives alongside mainstream Western cinema. Essays unpack the adaptations' engagement with domestic violence, racial prejudice and sexual politics, making this the most vital and thorough treatment available of the play's contemporary resonance."
    Peter Kirwan, University of Nottingham

    'The volume, an impressive grappling with films that range from those in a classic realist mode, through modernist pastiche and postcolonialism and postmodernism, will become an inspiring and necessary handbook for countless scholars and students.' Michael Hattaway, Cahiers Élisabéthains: A Journal of English Renaissance Studies
