The essays in this collection analyse major film adaptations of
twentieth-century American fiction, from F. Scott Fitzgerald's The
Last Tycoon to Toni Morrison's Beloved. During the century, films
based on American literature came to play a central role in the
history of the American cinema. Combining cinematic and literary
approaches, this volume explores the adaptation process from
conception through production and reception. The contributors
explore the ways political and historical contexts have shaped the
transfer from book to screen, and the new perspectives that films
bring to literary works. In particular, they examine how the
twentieth-century literary modes of realism, modernism, and
postmodernism have influenced the forms of modern cinema. Written
in a lively and accessible style, the book includes production
stills and full filmographies. Together with its companion volume
on nineteenth-century fiction, the volume offers a comprehensive
account of the rich tradition of American literature on screen.
