About the Book:
The British Film Institute (BFI) National Film and Television
Archive (NFTVA) collection of Shakespeare productions ranges from the
first Shakespearean film ever made ("King John" in 1899) to
the most recent television recordings. This book presents a critique
of these holdings — the conventional renditions of the plays, the
operas, documentaries, animation and commercials, and the parodies.
In total, this amounts to over 400 titles. The text Walking Shadows also features an
introductory essay on the history of filmed Shakespeare, individual
essays on specific aspects of the collection and a guide to other
audio-visual Shakespearean materials.
Walking Shadows: Shakespeare in the National Film and Television Archive is the second of the Archive Monographs, a
series based on research into the collection of films deposited in
the NFTVA.
