Abstract

AbstractFilm as the New ShakespeareFilm on ShakespeareNotesWorks Cited

This article considers the ultimately successful quest for film to be regarded as, not a mere imitator of literature, but the 'new literature', or as Allardyce Nicoll intimates in 1936, 'the new Shakespeare'. This seemingly persistent conception of film as the new Shakespeare accounts, in part, for long-standing prejudicial attitudes to literature on screen, including cinematic appropriations of Shakespeare, over the last two centuries.
