Beschreibungen
This book studies British literary writers’ engagement with adaptations of their work across literary, theatrical, and film media in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It considers their critical, reflective, and autobiographical writings about the process of adaptation, and traces how their work was shaped, as well as delimited, by their involvement with adaptations to different media and intermedial writing. Linking canonical and non-canonical writers both chronologically and contemporaneously, and bridging studies of prose fiction adaptation from nineteenth-century theatre to early twentieth-century film, this book offers an interdisciplinary, transhistorical, cultural, and analytical study of adaptation and the variable positions of writers within and across media.

Annie Nissen currently works at Lancaster University, UK, where she has been an Associate Lecturer for both Film Studies and English Literature and a Research Associate for the ‘Cinema Memory and the Digital Archive’ project.
<p>“Like a reporter covering nineteenth-century copyright trials, public debates between prominent authors, and major legislative developments, Annie Nissen weaves through a range of examples of writers, including Charles Dickens, Mary Elizabeth Braddon, and George Bernard Shaw, and the many adaptations of their books for stage and screen. This book provides a detailed picture of the business of authorship and adaptation across page, theater, and early film. Enlightening and indispensable.”</p>

<p>“Nissen does an outstanding job of pushing deep into a complex matrix of issues. This is an impressive piece of scholarship and an excellent resource for adaptation studies.”</p>
<p><b>—Glenn Jellenik</b>, Associate Professor of English, University of Central Arkansas, USA</p>
<p>“Spanning a wide range of authors and a long historical arc, <i>Authors and Adaptation</i> offers important new information about and insights into literature, theatre, film, and adaptation studies. Nissen resurrects theoretically and historically dead authors as live writers creating and critiquing intermedial adaptations, invaluably bridging gaps between theory and practice as well as between disciplines, media, and periods.”</p>

Spans a long historical period to illuminate processes of adaptation across prose fiction, theatre, and film Offers new insights on adaptation across media through examining author involvement in adaptations of their work Restores the living author and writing as process rather than product to adaptation studies
“In focusing on the concerns and dynamics of 19th-century theatrical adaptation and tracing adaptation’s influence on early cinema, Nissen does an outstanding job of pushing deep into a complex matrix of issues and developing a set of vital arguments. This is an impressive piece of scholarship: an excellent resource, and an asset to the field of adaptation studies.” (Glenn Jellenik, Associate Professor of English, University of Central Arkansas, USA)<p>“Spanning a wide range and long historical arc, Authors and Adaptation offers important new information about and insights into literature, theatre, film, and adaptation studies, individually and collectively. Bridging gaps generated by disciplinary, media, and period divides, resurrecting theoretically and historically dead authors as live writers creating and critiquing intermedial adaptations invaluably bridges gaps between theory and practice.” (Kamilla Elliott<b>,</b> Professor of Literature and Media, Lancaster University, UK)</p>
<p>“Authors and Adaptation: Writing Across Media in the Nineteenth and Early Twentieth Centuries fills important gaps in the existing scholarship, especially around the history of copyright laws in national, international, and transatlantic contexts and their influence on the evolution of adaptation across nineteenth-century print and theater and the early decades of film. Like a reporter covering nineteenth-century copyright trials, public debates between prominent authors, and major legislative developments such as the Berne Convention in 1886, Nissen weaves through examples ranging from Charles Dickens to Mary Elizabeth Braddon to Wilkie Collins to George Bernard Shaw to J.M. Barrie, and the many adapters, whether hack dramatists or critically-acclaimed playwrights, who adapted their books for stage and screen. This book provides a detailed picture of the business of authorship and adaptation across page, theater, and early film, as well as a nuanced view of how the different lawsfor written and dramatic works shaped the production and circulation of literature, arts, and culture during this historical period. Nissen shows how early film adaptation was shaped by the adaptations of the previous century—providing valuable historical insights that scholars and students of adaptation, media, and literature will find enlightening and indispensable.” (Lissette Lopez Szwydky, PhD, Associate Professor, University of Arkansas, USA)</p>
