French novelist ?mile Zola, noted for his championship of the
Naturalist novel, has been one of the most adapted authors in world
literature. There have been approximately 80 film adaptations of
his late 19th century novels and short stories, many of which
occurred during the silent era of international film production
(1895?1927). While the aesthetic elements of Zola's fiction
continue to appeal to international cinema, the author's thematic
naturalism and his ?scientific methodology? have provided an
ideological framework that incorporates art, science and history
into the many cinematic adaptations of his work. This collection of
essays, contributed by scholars of French literature and film,
explores the dynamic relationship between Zola's fiction and its
film adaptations, examining critically significant cinematic
adaptations of Zola's novels from a variety of theoretical and
interdisciplinary perspectives. The 13 essays discuss the
adaptation of Zola's works within the limitations of the silent
cinema; the challenges posed by film censorship and the notoriety
of the author's naturalist text; the ideological inflection given
to Zola's working class narratives; and Zola's representation of
women. Zola's works are placed within their respective historical
contexts, as the essays address encoded anti?Nazi sentiment in
films produced under the German occupation of France during World
War II and the French Communist Party's reception of the filmic
adaptation of Germinal. Other adapted works addressed in these
chapters include La Terre, Nana, La B?te humaine, Au Bonheur des
Dames, Th?r?se Raquin, Gervaise and Pot-Bouille.
