{"product_id":"the-haunted-screen-lee-kovacs-9780786426058","title":"The Haunted Screen: Ghosts in Literature and Film","description":"\u003cp\u003e While ghosts often inhabit films and literature devoted to the horror genre, a group of literature-based films from the 1930s and 1940s presents more human and romantic apparitions. These films provide the underpinnings for many of the gentle supernatural films of the 1990s. Tracing the links between specters as diverse as Rex Harrison's Captain Gregg and Patrick Swazye's Sam Wheat, the text presents the evolution of the cinematic-literary ghost from classic Gothic to the psychological, sociological, and political ideologies of today. Included are analyses of the literary and film versions of classic ghost stories--\u003ci\u003eWuthering Heights, The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, Portrait of Jennie, Letter from an Unknown Woman, The Uninvited, Liliom, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eOur Town\u003c\/i\u003e--as well as interpretations of modern films not based on literary works that show the influence of these predecessors--\u003ci\u003eGhost\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eTruly, Madly, Deeply.\u003c\/i\u003e The text includes stills, a bibliography, and an index.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lee Kovacs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0786426055\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786426058\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 191\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.56lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 6.32w x 0.46d","brand":"Lee Kovacs","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48443678490879,"sku":"9780786426058","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a183f094-beb5-42dc-b307-bd2faa0de4a3.jpg?v=1777207081","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-haunted-screen-lee-kovacs-9780786426058","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
