This book argues for a historically informed approach to American popular culture that reconfigures the classically defined adaptation phenomenon as a form of transnational reception. Focusing on several case studies- including the films \u003cem\u003eSense and Sensibility\u003c\/em\u003e (1995) and \u003cem\u003eThe Portrait of a Lady\u003c\/em\u003e (1997), and the classics \u003cem\u003eThe Third Man\u003c\/em\u003e (1949) and \u003cem\u003eThe Bridge on the River Kwai\u003c\/em\u003e (1957)-the author demonstrates the ways adapted literary works function as social and cultural events in history and how these become important sites of cultural negotiation and struggle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anne-Marie Scholz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1785330349\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781785330346\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berghahn Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.51d","brand":"Anne-Marie Scholz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44052947763455,"sku":"9781785330346","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e9239308-26c5-4497-843e-1fd8fc60eff5.jpg?v=1685021529","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/from-fidelity-to-history-anne-marie-scholz-9781785330346","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
