  • British Nineteenth-Century Literature and the Hollywood Studio
    ADAPTATION AS AN INTERTEXTUAL MODE OF PRACTICE: British Nineteenth-Century Literature and the Hollywood Studio Era Penny Chalk BA (Hons), MA This thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of Portsmouth April 2018 1 DECLARATION While registered as a candidate for the above degree, I have not been registered for any other research award. The results and conclusions embodied in the thesis are the work of the named candidate and have not been submitted for any other academic award. Signed……………………………………… Date…………………………………… Total word count 71,051 i ABSTRACT This thesis is an interdisciplinary study of adaptations produced in the Hollywood studio era, focussing on British nineteenth-century literature adapted between the years 1930 to 1949. Based on the critical fields of adaptation criticism and historical scholarship of film, it emphasizes adaptations in relation to production practices, examining how and why a range of British literary texts were adapted in this era. The study uses a specially-created dataset collected from the American Film Institute Catalog of Motion Pictures, and archival evidence from the Margaret Herrick library, New York Public Library and British Film Institute. The introductory chapter provides an overview of the period, considering the impact of economic constraints, censorship, and war. This chapter argues that adaptations were an integral part of the industry in this period, driving innovation and production trends. Following this overview of the period, five case studies are presented in order to consider the diverse range of strategies employed in the adaptation of literary texts.
