ENG 402 Shakespeare on Film and in Production

In this course students explore how languages and technologies of film "translate" Shakespeare's plays into contemporary social and cultural texts. Shakespeare's plays are not viewed as sources or originals but as inter-texts through which to analyze the modern and post-modern meanings of Shakespearean films.
