Description

This close study of film adaptations of King Lear looks at several different versions (mainstream, art-house and cinematic 'offshoots') and discusses: the literary text in its historical context, key themes and dominant readings of the text, how the text is adapted for screen and how adaptations have changed our reading of the original text. There are many references to the literary text and screenplays and the book also features quotations from directors and critics. There is plenty of discursive material here to support student work on both film and literature courses.

A British Film Institute survey of secondary schools found that 91% of English teachers were enthusiastic about teaching literature on film, and 41% devoted curriculum time to it, but more resources were needed There are 576, 562 students on english literature courses at GCSE level and 81,000 at A Level. The number of film studies students grows by 15% year on year King Lear is a regularly set A Level and GCSE text

Absolutely Fantastic

This was my first time ordering from SciFier but it definitely won't be my last. When it comes to buying books online the packaging needs to be good, SciFier were great they used bubble wrap to make sure they arrived perfect. Amazing range of books that majority are lower priced than most book retailers. Wonderful service, I'll definitely be recommending to everyone. Thank you.

Great delivery to EU, no issues with customs. Very good packaging. A nice selection of manga and, so far, the best prices I could find :)
