		England's greatest poet and playwright was born at Stratford-upon-Avon, the son of a tradesman and Alderman of Stratford, John Shakespeare in 1564.
		One important difference between plays written in Shakespeare's time and those written today is that Elizabethan plays were published after their performances, sometimes even after their authors' deaths, and were in many ways a record of what happened on stage during these performances rather than directions for what should happen.
		Shakespeare's plays were published in various forms and with a wide variety of accuracy during his time.

	Annalisa Castaldo: To Thine Own Reading Be True: Shakespeare and Authority in Contemporary Movies
		Shakespeare functions as a symbol of middle-class ideology, and even when that ideology is shown, unwittingly or not, to be problematic, Shakespeare is used to hide the distortion of the truth.
		The heroine of the movie, Cher, cannot qualify in any way as disempowered or marginalized (it is, perhaps, this fact which allows for her skill at using Shakespeare), but she is presented, at first, as completely lacking in the literacy of high culture and the audience is invited to laugh at her.
		Shakespeare, when confined to a classroom, stands as the epitome of traditional, conservative, high culture; he is everything the boys are sent to prep school to internalize.

	Review - Shakespeare In Love (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Shakespeare has promised him his new play, "Romeo and Ethel, the Pirate's Daughter," but hasn't written a word.
		He comes close, when the affections of a whore inspire him to write the first scene, but then he catches her with another man and burns the script.
		There are lots of references to Shakespeare's other works, so you can feel either sophisticated or amused by picking them out.

	Shakespeare on Film & Video: Books in the UC Berkeley Library
		Although Shakespeare had been an important part of popularculture during his own time, as well as in 18th- and 19th-century America,socioeconomic factors combined to transform him in the late 1900s into aelitist cultural figure whose works were shown only in 'legitimate'theaters and seen only by the upper class.
		Shakespeare's language intimidates, and although filmmakers will cut, adapt,rearrange, reassign speeches, choose strange settings, and do all kinds of things to thetexts, they are very wary of adding their own words.

	Masterpiece Theatre \| Othello \| Essay: Adapting Shakespeare
		Shakespeare presents Shylock harshly, but also allows him to speak eloquently on his own behalf, perhaps the first time a European playwright afforded a Jewish character such a podium.
		Shakespeare has been presented in myriad versions, from the traditional to the almost unrecognizable.
		Douglas Brode notes in his book, Shakespeare in the Movies, "[Shakespeare's plays] aren't plays at all; rather, they are screenplays, written, ironically, three centuries before the birth of cinema." Shakespeare was first adapted to the movie screen in 1899, when King John was filmed as a four-minute movie.

	Swans Commentary: Cinematizing Shakespeare, by Charles Marowitz - cmarow32
		It was structured by a poet with the intention of soaring beyond the hubbub of groundling chatter, the cries of pippin sellers and the clatter of horse hooves on cobblestones.
		Much of the effect of Shakespeare's plays comes from the scenic continuity that every stage director invariably tries for in the theatre; the shortest possible lapse between scenes, the quick and effective marshalling of one situation after another so that the momentum of the performance is never lost.
		When a Shakespeare play is revived on stage, the justification for that revival is the new angle or insight that a director has about the material.

	A Brief History of Shakespeare On Film
		Shakespeare was an often-used source material in this era for two main reasons.
		Although Shakespeare remained the highest class of material to work with for both actors and directors, the number of films based on the Bard's work dwindled in the 1970s and 1980s.
		That number does not include many foreign movies, early films that may have been lost to the ravages of time, and very loosely based adaptions.

	Movies - News - Pacino calls for more Shakespeare movies - Digital Spy
		During the launch of his latest movie, The Merchant Of Venice, Al Pacino has revealed that he thinks more of Shakespeare's plays should be adapted into movies.
		He said, "I believe Shakespeare in film is really something that should be tried more often, an opportunity to take some of the humanity that he writes into his characters and to express it.
		But in a movie you have the opportunity to cut away, to go in for close-ups, to bring in a different dynamic to a scene.

	Two books battle over the Bard \| Chron.com - Houston Chronicle
		By contrast, Ron Rosenbaum's book avoids investigating Shakespeare's life and time and instead takes up scholarly studies of Shakespeare's works: Shakespeare the author as opposed to Shakespeare the man. More specifically, it deals with what is certain or uncertain (mostly uncertain) about Shakespeare's writings and with the literary skirmishes waged by the presumptive experts.
		Rosenbaum, a journalist and author of the best-selling Explaining Hitler, finds a similarity between Shakespeare and Hitler in that both are what he calls "exceptionalists." That is, both exceed rational or simple explanations for their respective accomplishments, in the one case very good, in the other very bad.
		Rosenbaum begins The Shakespeare Wars with an updated and amplified recital of the ongoing debate over Shakespeare's texts, their origins, validity and authority, and about how present-day editions should be prepared.

	Movies: Shakespeare In Love
		The roles of writers, actors and theater in the 16th century are revealed, as well as the sharp class distinctions.
		Shakespeare (Joseph Fiennes) meets the wealthy Viola (Gwyneth Paltrow) while holding auditions for his new romantic comedy, "Romeo and Ethyl, the Pirate's Daughter." It was considered indecent for women to be onstage, so Viola, passionate about theater, disguises herself as a man to win the role of Romeo.

		Shakespeare was meant to be read aloud and heard.
		A specialized Shakespeare dictionary, a summary of the plot, a list of characters, an explanation of setting, more than one analysis of the play, pictures of an actual production, children's picture books (my favorite), and a good video of the play will be helpful.

	Shakespeare FAQ
		The two best Shakespeare sites for obtaining e-texts of Shakespeare's plays and poems are the Complete Works at MIT (maintained by Jeremy Hylton) and The Works of the Bard (maintained by Matty Farrow).
		If you're new to Shakespeare, the question might seem odd, but since we're talking about people who lived four centuries ago, before photo IDs, thumbprints, and databases, the actual identity of this author is open to debate (or not, depending on whom in the authorship debate you listen to.).
		One of the reasons that Shakespeare has maintained his popularity across the centuries with scholars, actors, and the general public alike is the level of depth and complexity he breathes into his characters.
