<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>This volume of essays contributes to current debates about Shakespeare in new media. It importantly develops the field by providing a comparativist approach to Shakespeare's dynamic media history. Contributors to <i>Broadcast Your Shakespeare </i>address the variety of ways Shakespeare texts have been expressed through different media and continue to be. Writing at the intersection of Shakespeare studies and media studies, these international contributors also consider the role of a particular media in producing Shakespeare's effect on us - as readers, viewers and users. The volume suggests how current analyses of new media Shakespeare have much to learn from older media, and that an awareness both of media specificity and also continuity can enhance Shakespeare pedagogy and research.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"The result is a wide-ranging and incisive study... <i>Broadcast Your Shakespeare</i> is a valuable guide to Shakespeare as he has been repeatedly remade." - <i>Studies in English Literature 1500-1900</i> <p/>"The book is an expansive, wide-ranging assessment of what it means to broadcast Shakespeare...Because of its carefully balanced attention to both platform and user, <i>Broadcast Your Shakespeare</i> manages successfully to navigate a wide range of adaptive processes, offering more than a selection of interesting case studies.
