  • Adaptations of Austen: How Does Multimedia Impact Our Ability to Read Between the Lines of Pride and Prejudice and Emma?

    Adaptations of Austen: How Does Multimedia Impact Our Ability to Read Between the Lines of Pride and Prejudice and Emma?

    Adaptations of Austen: How Does Multimedia Impact Our Ability to Read Between the Lines of Pride and Prejudice and Emma? Presented to the S. Daniel Abraham Honors Program in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for Completion of the Program Stern College for Women Yeshiva University May 6, 2020 Elka Basya Wiesenberg Mentor: Dr. Nora Nachumi, English Introduction “We’ve all seen it at least once,” says Devoney Looser, in The Making of Jane Austen, “A purist complains that Jane Austen’s fiction is being cheapened or even destroyed by film and television adaptations, [and by] vlogs” (13).1 Some readers of Austen feel that onscreen adaptations are ruining the novels. The characters, the story, the novels do not necessarily translate the way these readers imagined them, and this makes these adaptations undesirable to them, not giving them the experience that they want. Are these purists correct? Are modern adaptations destroying the authentic experience of a Jane Austen novel? Or is there something to be gained from a multimedia adaptation of Austen’s works? To begin to understand these questions, we must explore others. First, we must understand: What is the experience of an Austen novel? Second, we must discuss: How is this experience translated into a screen adaptation? What is different? These are questions that this paper will answer in order to understand the above complaints and prove them partially right-- and partially wrong. An Austen novel’s appeal lies heavily in its narrative voice, its narrator and style, as will be discussed, and this is what we will consider the Austen experience.

I bring ​ ​ this series into the discussion because of the ways in which it echos, parallels, and alludes to both Emma and Clueless individually, and the two as a source pair. I do not argue that the series is an ​ ​ ​ actual adaptation, but rather, a sort of collage, recombining motifs from both source texts to create something new, exciting, and completely absurd.
  • Unconscious Motives in Jane Austen's Emma

    Unconscious Motives in Jane Austen's Emma

    SYDNEY STUDIES Unconscious Motives in Jane Austen's Emma G.A. WILKES The words 'unconscious' and 'unconsciously' occur twenty times in Jane Austen's six novels, l with various levels of meaning. The simplest instance is the 'unconscious Marianne' of Sense and Sensibility (p. 333), unconscious because she has fallen asleep. The word is applied in a similar way to the trees of Norland Park, in "\larianne's romantic imaginings about them after her departure: 'you will continue the same; unconscious of the pleasure or the regret you occasion, and insensible ofany change in those who walk under your shade!' (p. 27). When Catherine Morland is despatched so unceremoniously from Northanger Abbey, and the post-chaise passes the turning to Woodston, she thinks of Henry Tilney 'so near, yet so unconscious' (p. 230), and her grief and agitation are excessive. In these instances 'unconscious' means inert, or unaware, or lacking the capability ofawareness. 2 On otheroccasions it applies to a state of abstraction, or of absorption in other things. Thus Marianne Dashwood is spared the impertinent stares of the young man selecting a toothpick-case which are felt by her sister, 'by remaining unconscious ofit all; for she was as well ableto collect her thoughts within herself, and be as ignorant of what was passing around her, in Mr. Gray's shop, as in her own bed-room' (p. 221). When at Uppercross Anne Elliot finds herself conveyed into the carriage through Captain Wentworth's intervention, and so spared the fatigue of the walking-party, she is so affected that 'her answers to the kindness and the remarks of her companions were at first unconsciously given.

The nineteenth century novels by Jane Austen and the Brontë sisters seem to be more popular than ever, being continually reprinted and adapted to different media. These adaptations vary greatly in objective, concept, and execution. Some adaptations, called costume dramas, aim for fidelity to the original, such as TV series Pride and Prejudice (Langton, 1995) and film Wuthering Heights (Arnold, 2011). These adaptations transpose the original storyline as well as the original setting to the film. Other adaptations of classics transport the storylines to the twentieth/twenty-first century, such as ‘chick flick’ Clueless (Herckerling, 1995) and Bollywood film Bride & Prejudice (Chadha, 2004). And there is a broad genre which does not necessarily adapt the whole story, but alludes to it, making playful use of (primarily Austen’s) novels, such as ‘chick lit’ Breakfast at Darcy’s (McNamara, 2011) and book series Bridget Jones (Fielding, 1996, 1999, 2013). Together these adaptations show both the love a modern day audience has for these nineteenth century stories and the urge and practice to adapt and appropriate these stories.

Jane Austen: A Study of Film Adaptations Megan Graham Pat Rogers Spring 2011 1 Jane Austen’s novels have been adapted for film and television since 1938. This popularity is due to the fact that Austen’s novels tell timeless love stories, which are appealing to audiences. In the 1990’s there were massive quantities of movies or television mini-series made from her books. Today, most people know about the novels through the films they watch. It is hard for the modern reader to relate to the lifestyle and everyday events of the characters in Jane Austen’s books because of such a vast time span. The films help modern society to interpret Austen’s writings. In regards to film adaptation there are two schools of thought. The first school is the traditionalist school that believes that a film should mirror the original work, the novel, as closely and faithfully as possible.

I desire the company of a man who could sympathize with me, whose eyes would reply to mine.”2 —Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus “Transmedia storytelling (also known as transmedia narrative or multiplatform storytelling) is the technique of telling a single story or story experience across multiple platforms and formats using current digital technologies, not to be confused with traditional cross-platform media franchises, sequels, or adaptations.”3 ―Wikipedia 1 Mary Shelley, Frankenstein, edited by Johanna M Smith (Boston: Bedford St.

    Emma: Power and Propriety

    Emma: Power and Propriety Exploring power in Jane Austen’s novel Emma Marloes van den Berg 3367053 BA-thesis Literatuurwetenschap Supervisor: B. Bagchi 02-02-2012 Preface Here I am; at the end of my thesis. Writing the preface is one of the last things on my checklist “completing a bachelor thesis”. For a long time I thought writing a bachelor thesis would be the hardest thing ever. Writing something between six and eight thousand words seemed impossible, what subject should I choose? The more I thought about it, the more I realized how important it was to choose a subject I like. Therefore I chose one of Jane Austen’s novels. Jane Austen was probably one of the first authors who wrote literature I really liked. Besides focussing on Emma I wanted to use some of Foucault’s theory on power. I am always intrigued by the way Foucault writes about power and how power seems to be everywhere. So, a combination of those two would be the subject of my thesis. The next step was to find a supervisor. After asking some people who knew a lot of Jane Austen, it became clear to me that I would be lucky if Dr. Bagchi would be my supervisor. Luckily enough she agreed, and I am very thankful that she helped me throughout the whole process. I really enjoyed the Friday afternoon meetings in which we talked about my thesis. Thank you Barnita for all the help you gave me. One of the hardest things for me was writing my thesis in English.

Published in 1816, Emma by Jane Austen is one of her most beloved works. Since its release, there have been many discussions on the titular character’s sexuality, especially because of her relationship with Harriet Smith. Most of these discussions argue that Emma is strictly homosexual, claiming that she has no attraction to men. There are others who take on a more heteronormative perspective, describing Emma’s relationship with the women in Highbury as friendships rather than romantic relationships. Few, if any, see Emma’s sexuality from both sides, finding her to be, as I will argue, bisexual. The aim of this thesis is to explore Emma Woodhouse’s attraction to both men and women, as well as to understand why most other critics have not considered the possibility that she might be bisexual.
