Beschreibung:
Sally Barnden is a Research Associate on the AHRC-funded project 'Shakespeare in the Royal Collections' at King's College London. Her research on Shakespeare performance and still photography inspired the 'Still Shakespeare' animation project, a collaboration with Film London Artists' Moving Image Network. Her work has been published in Shakespeare Bulletin and Theatre Journal.
Still Shakespeare and the Photography of Performance is the first book-length study of the relationship between Shakespeare's works and photography. It examines the place of photography in the reception of the Shakespeare canon since the invention of the camera, and how photographs have influenced perceptions of Shakespearean performance, character and cultural authority.
