Summary: "Are works of literature superior to their movie versions? 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 BLURB
