This engaging and stimulating book argues that Shakespeares plays significantly influenced movie genres in the twentieth century, particularly in films concerning love in the classic Hollywood period. Shakespeares green world has a close functional equivalent in tinseltown and on the silver screen, as well as in hybrid genres in Bollywood cinema. Meanwhile, Romeo and Juliet continues to be an enduring source for romantic tragedy on screen. The nature of generic indebtedness has not gained recognition because it is elusive and not always easy to recognise. The book traces generic links between Shakespeares comedies of love and screen genres such as romantic comedy, screwball comedy and musicals, as well as clarifying the use of common conventions defining the genres, such as mistaken identity, errors, disguise and shrew-taming. This challenging and entertaining book will appeal to those interested in Shakespeare, movies and the representation of love in narratives.About the AuthorR. S.
