No other film adaptation of an Austen novel was made for theatrical release until 1995. Amazingly, during 1995 and 1996, six film and television adaptations appeared, first \u003ci\u003eClueless, \u003c\/i\u003e then \u003ci\u003ePersuasion, \u003c\/i\u003e followed by \u003ci\u003ePride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility, \u003c\/i\u003e the Miramax \u003ci\u003eEmma, \u003c\/i\u003e and the Meridian\/A\u0026amp;E \u003ci\u003eEmma.\u003c\/i\u003e This book traces the history of film and television adaptations (nearly 30 to date) 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: \u003ci\u003eSense and Sensibility, Pride and Prejudice, Emma, Mansfield Park, Persuasion, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eNorthanger Abbey.\u003c\/i\u003e 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 adaptation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSue Parrill\u003c\/b\u003e is professor emeritus and former head of the Department of English at Southeastern Louisiana University in Hammond.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 229\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 8.98 x 6.38 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 11, 2002\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52710220300595,"sku":"9780786413492","price":60.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/TnNzOTFLU3pQYm5YUjI4VUozZFd0UT09_3f0670ec-5488-4f2e-b4f3-4dd5dab29323.webp?v=1763485346","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/jane-austen-on-film-and-television-a-critical-study-of-the-adaptations-paperback-1","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
