Shakespeare in mass media, particularly film, video and television, is arguably the hottest, fastest growing research agenda in Shakespeare studies. "Shakespeare after Mass Media" provides students and scholars with a comprehensive resource for studying the pop cultural afterlife of the Bard. From marketing to electronic Shakespeare, comics to romance novels, "Star Trek" to Branagh, radio and popular music to "Bartlett's Quotations", the volume explores the contemporary cultural significance of Shakespeare in a broad array of mass media contexts.

What's the worst thing you can do to Shakespeare? The answer is simple: don't read him. To that end, Richard Burt and Julian Yates embark on a project of un/reading the Bard, turning the conventional challenges into a roadmap for textual analysis and a thorough reconsideration of the plays in light of their absorption into global culture.
