Their translations of Renaissance plays to modern cinema both highlight and comment on contemporary culture and attitudes to art, identity, and the past. A dynamic analysis of twenty-seven films adapted from Shakespeare's works, Philippa Sheppard's Devouring Time addresses a wide range of topics, including gender, ritual, music, setting, rhetoric, and editing. She argues that the directors' choice to adapt these four-hundred-year old plays is an act of nostalgia, not only for the plays themselves, but also for the period in which they were written, the association of genius that accompanies them, and the medium of theatre. Sheppard contends that millennial anxiety brought on by the social and technological revolutions of the last five decades has generated a yearning for Shakespeare because he is an icon of a literary culture often now deemed threatened. Authoritative and accessible, Devouring Time's investigations of filmmakers' nostalgia for the art of the past shed light on Western and pre-twentieth-century concepts of gender, identity, and colonialism."-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Shakespeare, William, $d 1564-1616 $x Film adaptations. 650 0 $a English drama $x Film adaptations. 650 0 $a Film adaptations $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Motion pictures and literature. 650 0 $a Nostalgia in motion pictures. 600 17 $a Shakespeare, William, $d 1564-1616. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00029048 650 7 $a English drama. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00910737 650 7 $a Film adaptations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00924250 650 7 $a Motion pictures and literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01027410 650 7 $a Nostalgia in motion pictures. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01039541 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a Film adaptations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01710491 776 1 $a Sheppard, Philippa, 1966- $t Devouring time. $w (CaOONL)20179005464 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180116115524.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=4902F81EFAD211E7A45C351A97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
