Literature in Performance
Herausgeber: Reynolds, Peter

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book demonstrates how we can look critically at adaptations of literary texts for screen, stage and television. The contributors argue that adaptations should not be seen as secondary or marginal, because through them we can enter into an exciting debate with the literary text itself. The texts discussed include: Brideshead Revisited, The Color Purple, Dracula, Les Liaisons Dangereuses, Nice Work, Nicholas Nickleby, The Playmaker, Women in Love and Wuthering Heights.
