Summary:

"Building on the media turn within Shakespeare studies, "Broadcast Your Shakespeare" approaches Shakespeare as a series of media stories at once old, new and ongoing. Thematically arranged, these chapters consider a variety of media from television, radio and film to social media networks and look at the continuities between historical and contemporary media representations of Shakespeare. Writing at the intersection of Shakespeare studies and media studies, this book investigates the impact media has upon us as readers, viewers and users of Shakespeare. It also explores fan reactions to Shakespeare through media of their own, from Tumblr fan art to vlogging and Twitter."-- Back cover.
