Beginning with a discussion of the aesthetic limits of both the novel and the film, George Bluestone goes on to offer close readings of six films based on novels of serious literary merit--\u003ci\u003eThe Informer\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWuthering Heights\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Grapes of Wrath\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ePride and Prejudice\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Ox-Bow Incident\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eMadame Bovary\u003c\/i\u003e--focusing on the additions, deletions, and other changes made by the filmmakers in adapting the source material for the screen. Based on both in-depth research into film archives and libraries and on interviews with the screenwriters, directors, and producers who worked on these films, \u003ci\u003eNovels into Film\u003c\/i\u003e concludes that because the novel lends itself to states of consciousness and the film to observed reality, the adaptation of one from the other produces a new and wholly autonomous art form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eGeorge Bluestone \u003c\/b\u003e is professor emeritus of film at Boston University.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 251\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.65 x 8.56 x 5.44 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 20, 2003\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47646887641309,"sku":"9780801873867","price":64.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/eIY44eEE3Y9780801873867.webp?v=1773871267","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/novels-into-film-paperback","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
