Srividhya Swaminathan: New Book
Professor Srividhya Swaminathan (English) is co-editor of a new volume. The Cinematic Eighteenth Century: History, Culture, and Adaptation is a collection of essays that focus on the broad variety of interpretations of the eighteenth century onto film and television. The essays push the concept of adaptation in film studies to new theoretical models and examine both the straightforward text to film works, like the lucrative Jane Austen franchise, and appropriations of the eighteenth-century milieu, like the Caribbean pirate narrative and the African slave institution. Co-edited with Steven W. Thomas (Wagner College), this collection seeks to break new ground in the crossover between film and literary studies.More info.
