SHAKSPER 1996: Re: *Shakespeare on Silent Film*
From: Hardy M. Cook (hmcook@boe00.minc.umd.edu) Date: 01/05/96
Shakespeare Electronic Conference, Vol. 7, No. 0008. Friday, 5 January 1996. From: Bradley S. Berens <claudius@garnet.berkeley.edu> Date: Friday, 5 Jan 1996 00:33:43 -0800 (PST) Subject: 7.0003 Voice-over Hamlet? Comment: Re: SHK 7.0003 Voice-over Hamlet? This email is for Jim Schaefer. Regarding silent film Shakespeare, the magnum opus on this topic is Robert Hamilton Ball's SHAKESPEARE ON SILENT FILM, a book well worth a look. There was, unsuprisingly I guess given the perennial use of Shakespeare to class up any new medium (see the spate of recent bardocentric CD-ROMs), a HUGE number of silent film Shakespeare's, most of which have received little attention since teh advent of talkies. If you want to own a copy of this book, let me know as I've seen some around recently. Yours sincerely, Bradley Berens U.C. Berkeley
