Summary:
This book traces the history of film and television adaptations of
Jane
Austen
manuscripts, compares the adaptations to the manuscripts, compares the way different adaptations treat the novels, and analyzes the adaptations as examples of cinematic art. The first of seven chapters explains why the novels of
Jane
Austen
have become a popular source of film and television adaptations. The following six chapters each cover one of
Austen
's novels: Sense and Sensibility,
Pride
and
Prejudice
, Emma, Mansfield Park, Persuasion, and Northanger Abbey. Each chapter begins with a summary of the main events of the
novel
. Then a history of the adaptations is presented followed by an analysis of the unique qualities of each adaptation, a comparison of these adaptations to each other and to the novels on which they are based, and a reflection of relevant film and literary criticism as it applies to the adaptations.
