{"product_id":"framing-empire-hollyfield-9781474429955","title":"Framing Empire: Postcolonial Adaptations of Victorian Literature in Hollywood","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book examines postcolonial filmmakers adapting Victorian literature in Hollywood to contend with both the legacy of British imperialism and the influence of globalized media entities. Since decolonization, postcolonial writers and filmmakers have re-appropriated and adapted texts of the Victorian era as a way to 'write back' to the imperial centre. At the same time, the rise of international co-productions and multinational media corporations have called into question the effectiveness of postcolonial rewritings of canonical texts as a resistance strategy. With case studies of films like \u003cem\u003eGunga Din, Dracula 2000, The Portrait of a Lady, Vanity Fair\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eSlumdog Millionaire\u003c\/em\u003e, this book argues that many postcolonial filmmakers have extended resistance beyond revisionary adaptation, opting to interrogate Hollywood's genre conventions and production methods to address how globalization has affected and continues to influence their homelands. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hollyfield\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474429955\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474429955\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/25\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Hollyfield","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43942760382719,"sku":"9781474429955","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_a1848db5-4ef6-4fd6-b955-5346f6ab43e6.jpg?v=1681494196","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/framing-empire-hollyfield-9781474429955","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
