Adapting Henry James to the Screen: Gender, Fiction, and Film

Front Cover
Scarecrow Press, 2007 - Literary Criticism - 297 pages
"This book shows how changing priorities affected the ways in which James's novels were translated to the screen and how gender relations were addressed. Raw discusses most of the major adaptations, beginning with Berkeley Square (1933) and culminating with James Ivory's The Golden Bowl (2000). This book also offers new readings of well-known adaptations and considers works that have been critically neglected, such as The Lost Moment (1947), The House in the Square (1951), The Haunting of Hell House (1999), and the four television versions of The Turn of the Screw produced between 1974 and 1999. Adapting Henry James to the Screen is the most comprehensive survey published on James's work on film and television."--Jacket.
