In \u003ci\u003eReading Shakespeare Film First\u003c\/i\u003e, Mary Ellen Dakin asserts that we need to read Shakespeare in triplicate--as the stuff of transformative literature, theater, and film. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe potential for the mutual reinforcement and transfer of twenty-first-century literacy skills between text and film is too promising for classroom teachers to overlook. The heart of this book is a triangle whose three points are literary, theatrical, and cinematic; the chapters map a route around the perimeter of the triangle, guiding teachers and students with carefully researched and classroom-tested strategies for crossing over from Shakespeare's rich and strange early modern English to equally rich and strange modern film and illustrated productions of his plays. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlong the way, readers engage in reading and analyzing film stills, movie posters, and book covers; recognizing the three faces of film: literary, theatrical, and cinematic; exploring in depth the theatrical and cinematic elements of Shakespeare and then reconnecting them to the text; reading Shakespeare in full-length films; and transmediating Shakespeare's scripts into theater and film. As the \"old\" language of Shakespeare is constantly renewed through the \"new\" language of film, students develop twenty-first-century literacy skills through a marriage of the two.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"National Council of Teachers of English (Ncte","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46863626141847,"sku":"9780814139073","price":3450.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780814139073.webp?v=1769971088","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/reading-shakespeare-film-first-9780814139073","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
