"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"
