This volume does not only provide the reader with diverging assessments of the Richard III films, but it also deploys a large array of methodologies used to study ‘Shakespeare on film’. What gives the volume its coherence is that it thoroughly interrogates what those films do with and to Shakespeare’s text and suggests that, at least for Shakespearean scholars, Shakespearean films are hybrid creatures. They are and are not films; they are and are not Shakespeare.Ce volume offre non seulement au lecteur un examen précis et pluriel des adaptations filmiques de Richard III mais il déploie tout l’éventail des méthodologies qui permettent d’étudier Shakespeare à l’écran. La cohérence de ce volume vient de ce qu’il propose des questionnements multiples sur ce que ces films font de Shakespeare et suggère que le film shakespearien est une créature hybride qui est et n’est pas un film, qui est et n’est pas Shakespeare.

[Here], Alison Weir re-examines all the evidence - including that against the princes' uncle, Richard III, whose body was recently discovered in Leicester. She ... reconstructs the whole chain of events leading to their murder and by whose order they died."--Back cover.
