Summary: "Exploring Hollywood feature films as well as small studio productions, Adaptation Theory and Criticism provides the reader with an informative background on adaptation theory and postmodern methodology and includes eight case studies on more than a dozen American films, some of which have been used before (Age of Innocence, Gangs of New York, The Great Gatsby, and Do the Right Thing) and some that have received less consideration (Six Degrees of Seperation, Smoke, Smoke Signals, Broken Flowers, and various Snow White narratives including Enchanted, Mirrir Mirror, and Snow White and the Huntsman. Useful for both film and literary studies, Gordon Slethaug's Adaptation theory and criticism cogently combines existing scholarship with new theories and insights, encouraging readers to think about intertextual connections between literature and film in the USA." -- BOOK BLURB

Summary: "Adaptations gathers together 35 pieces that have been the basis for films, many from giants of American literature (Hemingway, Fitzgerald) and many that have not been in print for decades (the stories that inspired Bringing Up Baby, Meet John Doe, and All About Eve)." "Categorized by genre, and featuring movies by master directors such as Steven Spielberg, Stanley Kubrick, Robert Altman, Frank Capra, and John Ford, as well as relative newcomers such as Chris Eyre and Christopher Nolan, Adaptations offers insight into the process of turning a short story into a screenplay, one that, when successful, doesn't take drastic liberties with the text upon which it is based, but doesn't mirror its source material too closely either."--BOOK JACKET.

Summary: "This book is the first to put these landmark films in the context of their literary origins and explore how the best Chinese directors adapt fictional narratives and styles for film. Delving equally into the individual approaches of directors and writers, Hsiu-Chuang Deppman initiates readers into the exciting possibilities emanating from the world of Chinese cinema. The seven in-depth studies include a diverse array of forms (cinematic adaptation of literature, literary adaptation of film, auto-adaptation, and non-narrative adaptation) and a variety of genres (martial arts, melodrama, romance, autobiography, documentary drama). Complementing this formal diversity is a geographical range that far exceeds the cultural, linguistic, and physical boundaries of China. The directors represented here also work in the U.S. and Europe and reflect the growing international resources of Chinese-language cinema." -- BOOK BLURB

Summary: "Co-written by Irish filmmaker Neil Jordan and British novelist Angela Carter, and based on several short stories from Carter's collection The Bloody Chamber, The Company of Wolves (1984) is a provocative reinvention of the fairy tale of Little Red Riding Hood. Unraveling a feverish metaphor for the blossoming of a young girl's sexuality and her subsequent loss of innocence, the film entwines symbolism and metaphor with striking visuals and grisly effects. Released in the early 1980s, a time which produced several classic werewolf films (including An American Werewolf in London and The Howling), The Company of Wolves sets itself apart from the pack with its overtly literary roots, feminist stance, and art-house leanings. The film's narrative takes the form of a puzzle box, unfolding as dreams within dreams, and stories within stories, which lead further into the dark woods of the protagonist's psyche, as she finds herself on the cusp of womanhood. This Devil's Advocate explores all these aspects, as well as placing the film in the context of the careers of its creators and its position as an example of the "Female Gothic."" -- Angus and Robertson

Summary: At the heart of the Gothic novel proper lies the discursive binary of »self« and »other«, which in colonial literature was quickly filled with representations of the colonial master and his indigenous subject. Contemporary black Australian artists have usurped this colonial Gothic discourse, torn it to pieces, and finally transformed it into an Aboriginal Gothic. This study first develops the theoretical concept of an Aboriginal Gothic and then uses this term as a tool to analyse novels by Vivienne Cleven, Mudrooroo, Kim Scott, Sam Watson, and Alexis Wright as well as films directed by Beck Cole and Tracey Moffatt. It centres on the question of how a genuinely European mode, the Gothic, can be permeated and thus digested by elements of indigenous Australian culture in order to portray the current situation of Aboriginal Australians and to celebrate a recovered cultural identity. -- publisher's blurb

Summary: "Jefferson Hunter examines English films and television dramas as they relate to English culture in the twentieth century. He traces themes such as the influence of US crime drama on English film, and film adaptations of literary works as they appear in screen work from the 1930s to the present. A Canterbury Tale and the documentary Listen to Britain are analyzed in the context of village pageants and other wartime explorations of Englishness at risk. English crime dramas are set against the writings of George Orwell, while a famous line from Noel Coward also leads to a discussion of music and image in works including Brief Encounter and Look Back in Anger. Screen adaptation is also broached in analyses of the 1985 BBC version of Dickens's Bleak House and Merchant-Ivory's The Remains of the Day." - BOOK BLURB

Summary: It's a searing indictment of contemporary publishing that the first full-length survey of WSB's influential intrusions into the fields of film and music must come from the pen of the world's most obscure and frustrating experimental novelist. Boasting more than 323 items, this uh idiosyncratic survey is as comprehensive and insightful as it is undisciplined and incoherent, all of which qualities Strong appears to regard as cardinal virtues. If his self-designated mission is to somehow undermine the canon, his inspiration appears to be drawn from the charge of the Light Brigade. Nevertheless, even the most ardent Burroughs scholar will find something new here, even if it's just been made up for funty laff value. Nice try pal. -- BOOK BLURB

Summary: "The essays in this volume, most of which have never before been published, raise fundamental questions about cinema and adaptation: what is the nature of the "literary" and the "cinematic"? Why do so many of the films described as adaptations seem to derive from canonical literature rather than from other sources? How do the different media affect the ways stories are told? Film Adaptation offers fresh approaches to the art, theory, and cultural politics of movie adaptations, even challenging what is meant by the term "adaptation" itself. Contributors examine the process of adaptation in both theory and practice, discussing a wide variety of films. James Naremore's introduction provides an accessible historical overview of the field and reveals the importance of adaptation study to the many different academic disciplines now attracted to the analysis of film as commodity, document, and cultural artifact." -- BOOK BLURB (Contributors are André Bazin, Dudley Andrew, Robert B.

Summary: "Most books on film adaptation - the relation between films and their literary sources - focus on a series of close one-to-one comparisons between specific films and canonical novels. This volume identifies and investigates a far wider array of problems posed by the process of adaptation. Thomas Leitch considers how the creators of short silent films attempted to give them the weight of literature, what sorts of fidelity are possible in an adaptation of sacred scripture, what it means for an adaptation to pose as an introduction to, rather than a transcription of, a literary classic, and why and how some films have sought impossibly close fidelity to their sources. Leitch's analysis moves beyond literary sources to consider why a small number of adaptors have risen to the status of auteurs and how illustrated books, comic strips, video games, and true stories have been adaptated to the screen." -- BOOK BLURB

Summary: This book considers not only the narrative exchange that occurs when a novel is adapted to film, but the stylistic exchange between cinema and the written word that has occurred throughout the twentireth century. Cohen argues that as cinema has become a more dominant media, the novel itself has adapted to take on more cinematic qualities and vice versa.

Summary: "Period costume dramas are major box office commodities, exploiting the lucrative gap between the blockbuster and art film with their mixture of rich visuals, popular sensibility and literary association. But 'heritage cinema' is all too often discussed from literary (not cinematic) perspectives, and criticism of the films has long been overshadowed by the question of a film's fidelity to the original text. This volume of essays, reviews, and interviews seeks to redress this imbalance, by examining the often antagonistic relationship between literature and film - presenting both sides of the argument about whether heritage cinema's elaborate aesthetics owe more to nostalgia than to historical accuracy. In her challenging introduction to the volume, Ginette Vincendeau sketches the terms of the debate, arguing that the genre is an important, but often critically neglected, form of popular cinema. Film/Literature/Heritage, the latest in a series of 'Sight and Sound Readers', embraces a wide range of literary adaptation, from William Shakespeare to William Burroughs, covering films from Orlando to LA Confidential, and directors from Martin Scorcese to Peter Greenaway." - BOOK BLURB

Summary: "From The Death of Nancy Sykes (1897) to The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014) and beyond, cinematic adaptations of British literature participate in a complex and fascinating history. The History of British Literature on Film, 1895-2015 is the only comprehensive narration of cinema's 100-year-old love affair with British literature. Unlike previous studies of literature and film, which tend to privilege particular authors such as Shakespeare and Jane Austen, or particular texts such as Frankenstein, or particular literary periods such as Medieval, this volume considers the multiple functions of filmed British literature as a cinematic subject in its own right-one reflecting the specific political and aesthetic priorities of different national and historical cinemas. In what ways has the British literary canon authorized and influenced the history and aesthetics of film, and in what ways has filmed British literature both affirmed and challenged the very idea of literary canonicity? Seeking to answer these and other key questions, this indispensable study shows how these adaptations emerged from and continue to shape the social, artistic, and commercial aspects of film history"-- "A comprehensive history of British literature on film, analyzing the changing cinematic art and politics of adaptation between the years 1896 and 2010"--

Summary: "In Jane Campion and Adaptation Estella Tincknell presents a compelling analysis of the interplay between literature and cinema in relation to Campion's work. The text takes a distinct approach to understanding Campion's films, positioning them not simply as the work of a cinematic auteur, but as the culmination of a complex set of textual relationships and practices. In doing so, Tincknell argues persuasively that the director's use of adaptation goes well beyond the conventionally respectful approach to literary texts, opting instead for a playful, subversive and challenging re-imagining of the connections between literature, myth, cultural identity and cinema." -- PORTION OF BOOK BLURB

Summary: In November 1960, Frank Sinatra gave Marilyn Monroe a dog. His name was Maf. He had an instinct for the twentieth century. For politics. For psychoanalysis. For literature. For interior decoration. This is his story. Maf the dog was with Marilyn for the last two years of her life. Not only a picaresque hero himself, he was also a scholar of the adventuring rogue in literature and art, witnessing the rise of America's new liberalism, civil rights, the space race, the New York critics, and was Marilyn Monroe's constant companion. The story of Maf the dog is a hilarious and highly original peek into the life of a complex canine hero - he was very much a real historical figure, with his license and photographs sold at auction along with Marilyn's other person affects. Through the eyes of Maf we're provided with an insight into the life of Monroe herself, and a fascinating take on one of the most extraordinary periods of the twentieth century

Summary: "Beginning with the simple but possibly crucial observation that, in general, literature and film are storytelling arts, Mr. Richardson presents a lucid and straightforward analysis arguing that film and literature are not the entirely different, antithetical disciplines that they are widely held to be. He shows clearly the relationship of film to literature, outlining differences as well as similarities, and common goals as well as divergent aims appropriate to the two arts, demonstrating how each form and its associated criticism is frequently able to illuminate and enliven the other. A film's consciousness sharpens the reader's alertness to the visual and aural qualities that mark much great writing, and literary training, in turn, adds depth and perspective to appreciation of film. Mr. Richardson goes on to present some of the literary influences, such as the writings Dickens and Flaubert, that have significantly affected film since the era of D.W. Griffith, and he discusses film's major influences on modern literature. The author concludes with an extended exploration of the relationship of film to poetry, suggesting that while the two forms have been concerned with similar thematic material and make use of similar techniques, film has dealt more significantly with the question of how to find a humane, noncoercive order in life.

Summary: "Henry James and Alfred Hitchcock knew too much. Self-imposed exiles, they approached American and European society as inside-outsiders, a position that afforded them a kind of double vision. Masters of their arts, manipulators of their audiences, prescient and path-breaking in their techniques, these demanding and meticulous craftsmen produced some of the greatest art of the last 150 years. This capacious collection, with its brilliant insights and intellectual surprises, is equally compelling in its range and cogency for Jmes readers and film theorists, for Hitchcock fans and James scholars." -- BOOK BLURB

Summary: "Even though horror has been a key component of media output for almost a century, the genre's industrial character remains under explored and poorly understood. Merchants of Menace: The Business of Horror Cinema responds to a major void in film history by shedding much-needed new light on the economic dimensions of one of the world's most enduring audiovisual forms. Given horror cuts across budgetary categories, industry sectors, national film cultures, and media, Merchants of Menace also promises to expand understandings of the economics of cinema generally. Covering 1930-present, this groundbreaking collection boasts fourteen original chapters from world-leading experts taking as their focus such diverse topics as early zombie pictures, post-WWII chillers, Civil Rights-Era marketing, Hollywood literary adaptations, Australian exploitation, "torture-porn" Auteurs, and twenty-first-century remakes." - Publisher's Website

Summary: "Does a movie have the same impact as the novel on which it is based? Here are some of the stimulating - and occasionally surprising - answers to that question. This book is a follow-up to The Classic American Novel and the Movies, which ended in 1929, but it can be read on its own. [This book] covers novels and films from the 1930s to the 1970s, from Erskine Caldwell's Tobacco Road to James Dickey's Deliverance. In between, many film translations of notable novels are scrutinized - works by such authors as Faulkner, Hemingway, Steinbeck, McCullers, Nabokov, Updike, Kesey, and Vonnegut [...] Style, characterisation, theme, and ideology come under review. And we get behind-the-scenes insights into the actual filming of some celebrated novels. Of special value to scholars and students of film: extended filmographies by both author and film title of adaptations of American novels published between 1930 and 1975. In addition, there is a bibliography covering the same period, plus complete rental information on the films themselves." -- BOOK BLURB

Summary: "'It wasn't as good as the book' is a view often expressed about film adaptations and the starting point of many a film review or conversation. Novel to Film is the first systematic theoretical account of the process by which works of literature are transformed into the good, bad (sometimes ugly) but always distinctive medium of cinema. This book proposes a concise and carefully constructed account of how this metamorphosis may be analysed in depth. Drawing upon modern and literary film theory this book proposes a methodology for considering novels and the films made from them. In the first serious account of its kind, the book begins with a firm theoretical basis for a study of adaptation and then shows how this might be applied to five case studies representing a range of fiction and cinematic practice. The Scarlet Letter, Random Harvest, Great Expectations, Daisy Miller, and Cape Fear are the films, ranging from the silent era to the modern thriller. Uniquely wide ranging, this book provides an important new analysis of a much discussed but little understood topic.' [Taken from BOOK BLURB]

Summary: "Going beyond the process of adaptation of literature to film, Geraghty is more interested in the films themselves and how they draw on our sense of recall. While a film reflects its literary source, it also invites comparisons to our memories of and associations with other versions of the original. For example, a viewer may watch the 2005 big-screen production of Pride and Prejudice and look back on the BBC's 1995 mini-series as well as Jane Austen's novel. Adaptations also rely on the conventions of genre, editing, acting, and sound to engage with our recollections-elements that many movie critics tend to forget when focusing solely on faithfulness to the written word."-BOOK JACKET

Summary: "This collection of forty new essays, written by the leading scholars in adaptation studies and distinguished contributors from outside the field, is the most comprehensive volume on adaptation ever published. Written to appeal alike to specialists in adaptation, scholars in allied fields, and general readers, it hearkens back to the foundations of adaptation studies a century and more ago, surveys its ferment of activity over the past twenty years, and looks forward to the future. It considers the very different problems in adapting the classics, from the Bible to Frankenstein to Philip Roth, and the commons, from online mashups and remixes to adult movies. It surveys a dizzying range of adaptations around the world, from Latin American telenovelas to Czech cinema, from Hong Kong comics to Classics Illustrated, from Bollywood to zombies, and explores the ways media as different as radio, opera, popular song, and videogames have handled adaptation. Going still further, it examines the relations between adaptation and such intertextual practices as translation, illustration, prequels, sequels, remakes, intermediality, and transmediality."--Publisher.

Summary: Based on extensive research in the archives of legendary Russian film director Sergei Eisenstein, this book explores his wide ranging consumption of high and low culture and his wide ranging experience in ‘thinking in pictures’. Savage Junctures plays close attention to the multiple contexts within which Eisenstein’s films evolved. Eisenstein was particularly interested in the possibilities of visual thinking and, in this spirit; each chapter addresses the question of his image based philosophy from a different perspective.

Summary: This bold new collection offers an innovative discussion of Shakespeare on screen after the millenium. Cutting-edge and fully up-to-date, it surveys the rich field of Bardic film representations, from Michael Almereyda's Hamlet to the BBC 'Shakespe(Re)-Told' season, from Michael Radford's The Merchant of Venice to Peter Babakitis' Henry V. In addition to offering in-depth analyses of all the major productions, Screening Shakespeare in the Twenty-first Century includes reflections upon the less well-known filmic 'Shakespeares', which encompass cinema advertisements, appropriations, post-colonial reinventions and mass media citations, and which move across and between genres and mediums. Arguing that Shakespeare is a magnet for negotiations about style, value and literary authority, the essays contend that screen reinterpretations of England's most famous dramatist simultaneously address concerns centred upon nationality and ethnicity, gender and romance, and 'McDonaldisation' and the political process, thereby constituting an important intervention in the debates of the new century. As a result, through consideration of such offerings as the derry Film Initiative Hamlet, the New Zealand The Maori Merchant of Venice and the television documentary In Search of Shakespeare, this collection isa able to assess as never before the continuing relevance of Shakepseare in his local and global screen incarnations. -BOOK JACKET

Summary: "This book retrieves the lost literary treasures that inspired eight popular films. Prompted by the widespread success of these films, Gabriel Miller here re-evaluates the careers of the eight neglected novelists whose works inspired eight different directors - among them Sidney Lumet, Stanley Kubrick, John Huston, and Sidney Pollack. Each chapter offers a detailed interpretation of a particular film, its literary source, and the overall career of the novelist [...] Some of these interesting novels have never been dealt with at all; others have only recently attracted critical attention. The films, too, benefit from extended reassessment. Despite the fact that the movies were successful, moreso than the novels, they have attracted little in the way of useful analysis. Taken together, the double examination of the novel and film raises some important questions about the nature and problems of cinematic adaptation." -- BOOK BLURB

Summary: Shakespeare and the English-speaking Cinema is a lively, authoritative, and innovative overview of the ways in which Shakespeare's plays have been adapted for cinema. Organised by topics rather than chronology, it offers detailed commentary on significant films, including both 'mainstream' and 'canonical' works by such directors as Laurence Olivier, Orson Welles, Franco Zeffirelli, and Kenneth Branagh, and such ground-breaking movies as Derek Jarman's The Tempest, Baz Luhrmann's William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet and Peter Greenaway's Prospero's Books. Chapters on the location of films in place and time, the effect of this on characterisation, and issues of gender and political power are followed by a discussion of work that goes 'beyond Shakespeare. -- Taken from publisher's site

Summary: "Shakespeare's work has been adaptated for the screen since the early days of cinema but no single day has proved to be as popular as Romeo and Juliet. Focusing in the main on West Side story, Franco Zeffirellis' 1968 'flower child' version, and Baz Luhrmann's iconic film, this book offers unique insight into the adaptation process by tracing the ways in which the play's complex textual origins have led filmmakers to approach it from often unexpected angles, ranging from parodies to tragedies of genocidal proportions, as Shakespeare in Love and Deepa Mehta's controversial 2005 film Water, retrospectively demonstrate. Providing a comprehensive analysis of the production and reception of screen adaptations of Romeo and Juliet across time, place, culture, and medium, this book is an indispensible companion for students, film historians, and curious admirers of the world's greatest love story.
