DESCRIPTION:
The book is important too as a contribution to adaptation studies, generally, although as Jeffers readily acknowledges, Hollywood's exploitation of British literature has been altogether unique in the annals of commercial films and filmmaking.We may agree to situate Booker Prize novels in a rarified realm beyond the "culture industry," but what are we to do with the work of Tolkien and C.S. Jeffers treats colonization-national/racial/cultural superiority and American hegemony, which are crucial issues, since American films now enjoy an audience that is international. Rowling? This is no minor quibble, finally, but a crucial concern that cuts to the very core of Jeffers's argument and of adaptation studies generallyIndeed, it engenders a debate that Jennifer Jeffers's Britain Colonized brilliantly provokes, and one that literary and film scholars would do well to pursue." -
