The book takes as its theme the relationship between literature and
the contemporary means of production and distribution collectively
termed 'the media' - in particular, film and television. The
intention of the book is to explore and evaluate the mutual
opportunities and restrictions in this relationship. In the grammar
of our culture there seems to be an accepted opinion that print is
superior in terms of cultural production to film, radio or
television, that to read a book is somehow a 'higher' cultural
activity than seeing a play on television or seeing a film. By the
same token, a novel is a 'superior' work of art to film or
television. The longer perspective reveals that traditionally there
always is a greater respect paid to the previous mode of literary
production - poetry was superior to drama, poetic drama was
superior to the novel, and film attained cult and classic status
initially over television.
