Subject outline
Students study a range of novels and plays, together with film adaptations of them. Topics covered in discussions include the ways texts tell stories and present personality, gender and genre, issues of representation in contemporary culture and what might be meant by describing some of the texts and films as "popular" and some as "classic". The films will be studied as interpretations of literary texts. Prescribed texts must be purchased before the beginning of the semester.
