Now a Major Motion Picture : Film Adaptations of Literature and Drama, Paperback by Geraghty, Christine, ISBN 0742538214, ISBN-13 9780742538214, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US Geraghty (film and television studies, U. of Glasgow, UK) considers adaptations of literature to film, approaching the concept of adaptation not as fidelity to the original text but as how adaptations create their own meanings. Works she examines include David Copperfield, Oliver Twist, Pride and Prejudice, The Last of the Mohicans, Brokeback Mountain, The Heiress, The House of Mirth, Gangs of New York, and those by Proust, Woolf, Joyce, and Tennessee Williams. She considers the concept of "recall," which draws on memories and associations with other versions of the original in different media. She focuses on the films and television programs and how adaptation is referred to or used in the text, how these references interact with genre, editing, and acting, reviews, and critical debates adaptations have created.
