Relocating Shakespeare and Austen on Screen

Relocating Shakespeare and Austen on Screen

by Lisa Hopkins (Author)

Synopsis

Lisa Hopkins analyzes eight film adaptations which have taken either Shakespeare or Jane Austen - icons of Englishness - out of their original geographical or cultural context and transposed them to a new location, allowing for a powerful interrogation both of what these texts mean in the modern world, and of Englishness itself.
