The European Shakespeare Research Association (ESRA) and Cahiers Élisabéthains are delighted to announce that Dr Delilah Bermudez Brataas is the winner of the Mariangela Tempera Award for Shakespeare on Screen 2018, with an essay entitled ‘The Shadow’s Shadow, or Gendered Ambition in Svend Gade and Asta Nielsen’s 1921 Hamlet’.
The winning essay will be published in the April 2019 issue of Cahiers Élisabéthains and the award formally delivered at the next ESRA conference (Rome, 9–12 July 2019 – http://esra2019.it/). The award ceremony will celebrate the continuity of that passion for Shakespeare on screen that made Mariangela Tempera an inspiring precedent for many researchers in the field, and especially for those in the early stages of their careers.
