Shortlisted for the ESSE 2022 Book Awards Shortlisted for the 2022
SAES / AFEA Research Prize Building on an upsurge of interest in
the Americanisation of British novels triggered by the Harry Potter
series, this book explores the various ways that British novels,
from children's fiction to travelogues and Book Prize winners, have
been adapted and rewritten for the US market. Drawing on a vast
corpus of over 80 works and integrating the latest research in
multimodality and stylistics, Linda Pilliere analyses the
modifications introduced to make British English texts more
culturally acceptable and accessible to the American English
reader. From paratextual differences in cover, illustrations,
typeface and footnotes to dialectal changes to lexis, tense, syntax
and punctuation, Pilliere explores the sociocultural and
ideological pressures involved in intralingual translation and
shows how the stylistic effects of such changes - including loss of
meaning, voice, rhythm and word play - often result in a more muted
American edition. In doing so, she reveals how homing in on
numerous small adjustments can provide fascinating insights into
the American publishing process and readership.
