Reviews

'Garrett Sullivan's brilliant study of Shakespeare in British film during the Second World War defines a new and exhilarating approach to examining the wide range of ways in which a particular social and cultural history and geography of Shakespeare in films - from adaptations to citations to offshoots - can be investigated. This is superb and innovative scholarship that has sent me rushing back to films I knew well and rushing off to watch others I had never even heard of.' Peter Holland, University of Notre Dame
