Book Synopsis Jane Austen on Screen by : Gina MacDonald

Download or read book Jane Austen on Screen written by Gina MacDonald and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2003-10-09 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays explores the literary and cinematic implications of translating Austen's prose into film. Contributors raise questions of how prose fiction and cinema differ, of how mass commercial audiences require changes to script and character, and of how continually remade films evoke memories of earlier productions. The essays represent widely divergent perspectives, from literary 'purists' suspicious of filmic renderings of Austen to film-makers who see the text as a stimulus for producing exceptional cinema. This comprehensive study will be of interest to students and teachers alike.
