This course aims to review (1) various film adaptations of major works of literature in English and, to a lesser degree, (2) some decidedly authorial-based works which are not necessarily based on anything other than an original script. Special attention is given to the contrast between mimetic and non-mimetic forms of artistic expression, the juxtaposition of verbal and pictorial elements and the deployment of Modernist narrative techniques in film. The course will span very diverse authors, such as David Guterson, Tom Stoppard, John Updike, J.M. Coetzee, Alan Duff, Michael Cunningham, Dan Rosen, Tom Wolfe, Harper Lee, Alice Walker and Irvine Welsh.
