One of the aspects of the academic profession that I have always found peculiarly difficult is that we are expected to produce a title and often an abstract for our talks, conference papers and book chapters long, long before we have begun to think through properly what on earth the eventuating product might be about. The result is often that one produces, as I did for this article when it began life as a lecture,1 something that is really rather too mysterious to tell our audiences much. If I had thought early enough about a subtitle it would have been something like ‘On Adapting and Not Adapting King Lear on Film’. Or perhaps something like ‘When Is an Adaptation of King Lear Not an Adaptation of King Lear?’ But each of these is probably just as mysterious as my first stab at the title was.
