What is From Fidelity to History : Film Adaptations As Cultural Events in the Twentieth Century about?

Scholarly approaches to the relationship between literature and film, ranging from the traditional focus upon fidelity to more recent issues of intertextuality, all contain a significant blind spot: a lack of theoretical and methodological attention to adaptation as an historical and transnational phenomenon. This book argues for a historically informed approach to American popular culture that reconfigures the classically defined adaptation phenomenon as a form of transnational reception. Focusing on several case studies— including the films __Sense and Sensibility__ (1995) and __The Portrait of a Lady__ (1997), and the classics __The Third Man__ (1949) and __The Bridge on the River Kwai__ (1957)—the author demonstrates the ways adapted literary works function as social and cultural events in history and how these become important sites of cultural negotiation and struggle.
