Annotation:
	Examines "appearance of books and illuminated manuscripts being written/produced in the closing sequences of two adaptations of Shakespeare's The Tempest--Julie Taymor's Tempest (2010) and Peter Greenaway's Prospero's Books (1991)" (both q.v.). Analyzes their focus on "process of writing medieval and early modern books, in relation to two developments in the history of the cinematic paratext: first, opening and end sequences that show the credits printed on turning pages of a book; and, second, the increasing expansion and development of end credit sequences since 1980." Addresses two major questions: "why cinema turns to textual media for the paratext and why books remain, in the age of digital cinema as much as of celluloid cinema, ideal filmic multimedia referents--and particularly in animated feature films."
