In The Art of Adapting Victorian Literature, 1848-1920, Karen E.
Laird alternates between readings of nineteenth-century stage and
twentieth-century silent film adaptations to investigate the
working practices of the first adapters of Victorian fiction.
Laird's juxtaposition between stage and screen brings to life the
dynamic culture of literary adaptation as it developed throughout
the long nineteenth-century. Focusing on Charlotte BrontA"'s Jane
Eyre, Charles Dickens's David Copperfield, and Wilkie Collins's The
Woman in White, Laird demonstrates how adaptations performed the
valuable cultural work of expanding the original novel's readership
across class and gender divides, exporting the English novel to
America, and commemorating the novelists through adaptations that
functioned as virtual literary tourism. Bridging the divide between
literary criticism, film studies, and theatre history, Laird's book
reveals how the Victorian adapters set the stage for our
contemporary film adaptation industry.
