The successful film is itself a new work of art, as this book affirms, and what it reflects back to its source allows for rewarding analysis - and that is what The English Novel and the Movies is all about. These twenty-seven insightful essays - written expressly for this collection - delve into films based on novels by English and Irish writers ranging from Defoe's Robinson Crusoe to D.H. Lawrence's Lady Chatterley's Lover and Joyce's Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. Many are recent productions. Directors range from Alfred Hitchcock, John Huston, and Orson Welles to Francis Ford Coppola and Werner Herzog." -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes index; "Selected filmography: film adaptations of English novels, 1719-1930s": p. 323-347; Bibliography: p. 352-368ISBN: 0804424721 : $13.00; 0804463581 (pbk.) : $5.95LON: 80005342; 1937478

Gaslight melodrama : from Victorian London to 1940s Hollywood / Guy Barefoot New York: Continuum, c2002.
Call No: 733 BARAuthor: Barefoot, Guy Source: USPlace: New YorkPublisher: ContinuumPubDate: c2002PhysDes: 212 p. : ill. ; 24 cmSubject: MELODRAMA ; HISTORICAL FILMS ; CRITICISM ; GASLIGHT (UK, Thorold Dickinson, 1940) ; HANGOVER SQUARE (US, John Brahm, 1945) ; BRITANNIA MEWS (UK, Jean Negulesco, 1949) ; [DOCTOR] DR JEKYLL AND MR HYDE (US, Victor Fleming, 1941) Summary: "In 1945, a year when American crime films were apparently moving out onto the streets of contemporary Los Angeles and New York, one reviewer noted the emergence of a "cycle of mystery and horror pictures placed in the gaslight era of the turn of the century." For another, it seemed that for Hollywood there was "no world of today save the world of London by gaslight." In Gaslight Melodrama, Guy Barefoot examines the films that gave rise to such comments, and the pattern of discourses that gave rise to such films. The main focus of the book is provided by 1940s Hollywood melodramas such as Gaslight, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, and Hangover Square. Gaslight Melodrama also discusses a related cycle of British films that located murder and melodrama amid Victorian or Edwardian furnishings, and then looks beyond cinema to the Gothic novels of the 18th century; 19th century discussions of gas-lighting in street, home, and theater; and ambivalent 20th century responses to the Victorian era. Combining close analysis of particular film texts with attention to cinema's cultural context, Gaslight Melodrama provides an exploration of the ways in which the past has been the site of contested meaning, and an examination of the network of melodramatic narratives embedded within familiar and lesser-known examples of classical Hollywood cinema " -- BOOK BLURBNotes: Includes bibliographical references (p.
