{"product_id":"chaucer-on-screen-kathleen-coyne-kelly-9780814253724","title":"Chaucer on Screen: Absence, Presence, and Adapting the Canterbury Tales","description":"Unlike William Shakespeare, Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, and other great authors who have enjoyed continued success in Hollywood, Geoffrey Chaucer has largely been shunted to the margins of the cinematic world. \u003ci\u003eChaucer on Screen: Absence, Presence, and Adapting the Canterbury Tales, \u003c\/i\u003e edited by Kathleen Coyne Kelly and Tison Pugh, investigates the various translations of Chaucer and the \u003ci\u003eCanterbury Tales\u003c\/i\u003e to film and television, tracing out how the legacies of the great fourteenth-century English poet have been revisited and reinterpreted through visual media. Contributors to this volume address the question of why Chaucer is so rarely adapted to the screen, and then turn to the occasional, often awkward, attempts to adapt his narratives, including such works as Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger's lyrical \u003ci\u003eA Canterbury Tale\u003c\/i\u003e (1944), Pier Paolo Pasolini's still-controversial \u003ci\u003eI racconti di Canterbury (\u003c\/i\u003e1972), Bud Lee's soft-core \u003ci\u003eThe Ribald Tales of Canterbury\u003c\/i\u003e (1985), Brian Helgeland's \u003ci\u003eA Knight's Tale (2001), \u003c\/i\u003e and BBC television productions, among others\u003ci\u003e. Chaucer on Screen\u003c\/i\u003e aims to rethink some of the premises of adaptation studies and to erase the ideological lines between textual sources and visual reimaginings in the certainty that many pleasures, scholarly and otherwise, can found in multiple media across disparate eras.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kathleen Coyne Kelly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0814253725\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814253724\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ohio State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/07\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.68d","brand":"Kathleen Coyne Kelly","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44059835498751,"sku":"9780814253724","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9218f29c-cb41-4f92-ad94-00c7694de5ba.jpg?v=1685060600","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/chaucer-on-screen-kathleen-coyne-kelly-9780814253724","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
