Recovering Meaning: Novel into Film
ENGL6915
This unit of study is designed to explore the issues surrounding the cinematic adaptation of major literary works. Is the adapted text merely secondary and derivative or does it have its own aesthetic authenticity? Should literary aesthetics supervise cinematic texts, or should the filmmaker's first priority be the quality and aesthetic integrity of the film itself? What is a "good" and a "bad" adaptation - or do these categories no longer matter?
