Scholarly approaches to the relationship between literature and
film, ranging from the traditional focus upon fidelity to more
recent issues of intertextuality, all contain a significant blind
spot: a lack of theoretical and methodological attention to
adaptation as an historical and transnational phenomenon. This book
argues for a historically informed approach to American popular
culture that reconfigures the classically defined adaptation
phenomenon as a form of transnational reception. Focusing on
several case studies - including recent films, Sense and
Sensibility (1995) and The Portrait of a Lady (1997) and classics,
The Third Man (1949) and The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957) - the
author demonstrates the ways adapted literary works function as
social and cultural events in history and how these become
important sites of cultural negotiation and struggle.
