Summary:

"Study of Kozintsev's two cinematic Shakespeare adaptations in relation to the historical, artistic and cultural contexts in which they appear, critiquing the government and country's problems when official censorship was commonplace, addressing the oppression, violence and corruption of Soviet society, the sort of covert political protest that finally effected the dissolution and fall of the USSR"-- Provided by publisher.
