Adaptations: Literature, Film, and Beyond
Course #: ENGL 123
Description:
This course is open to anyone interested in how stories get told in different ways. It is an introduction to thinking about literary forms in relation to narratives, so that we can learn to see the craft necessary for authors to transform a well-known poem into a novel, or a play into another play, or a novel into a film. We will also learn some of the basic elements of Adaptation Studies to learn how scholars think about adaptations and how they revivify narrative, returning readers to older literary texts in new ways.
