Reviews

'Kinga Foeldvary's new book is a masterful treatment of numerous genres that not only provides crucial descriptions and historical information but also lucidly explains the intersections between various generic discourses and their disparate iterations.' Melissa Croteau, Adaptation '[T]his is a well-structured study that examines a wide variety of movies in some detail. It provides a useful reference for the genre, adaptation, and Shakespeare studies and is an entertaining addition to the discourse on screen Shakespeare.' Peter Lewis, Cahiers Elisabethains: A Journal of English Renaissance Studies -- .
