Description

F255P255 This comprehensive book considers the ways in which the two most famous Bronte novels (Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights) have passed into the general culture, including stage, film and television versions, parodies, allusion, all illustrations, comic books and paintings, operatic, ballet and musical versions, parodies, allusion, all kinds of incidental references, and also later 're-workings' of the original plot. The book is not, however, merely a record, but offers analysis of the show more various texts in terms of their historical and generic construction, aiming to relate the form of each derivative to its ideological functions. A single reference source to writings and adaptations previously dispersed and difficult to access. Up to date critical analysis which enables cross-media sturdy. Scholars of literary and cultural studies. show less
