Scholars of English literature analyze films based on Shakespeare directed by Orson Welles, Akir Kurosawa, Grigori Kozintsev, and Franco Zeffirelli. The films are often studied in college and university courses, and serve as a common entry to the study of Shakespeare on film. They have also coincided with some of the major developments in the translation of Shakespeare to the cinematic medium, and with key moments in the development of Shakespeare on film as an academic discipline in its own right.

In this volume, leading scholars assess the contribution of four major film directors to the afterlife and reception of Shakespeare and his plays. Focusing on the work of Orson Welles, Akira Kurosawa, Grigori Kozintsev and Franco Zeffirelli, each essay assesses the double impact of Shakespeare on the film director covered and of the film director on the understanding, interpretation and appreciation of Shakespeare.
