    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.

    Hedy Lamarr, Radio Inventor, an Archivist's Note

    Hedy Lamarr, Radio Inventor, An Archivist’s Note; and A Biography of Hedy Lamarr, following: A Tribute to Radio Inventor Hedy Lamarr By David Harris, CHRS Fellow and Assistant Librarian I suggest CHRS create a “tribute room” to movie icon Hedy Lamarr somewhere prominently in the Radio Central building in Alameda (perhaps alongside another such room for another California radio pioneer, Lee DeForest). From 1938 to the early 1950s, Hedy Lamarr was the beautiful, iconic leading lady of MGM's “Golden Age” and afterwards, famous in 1 the roles of Delilah, Helen of Troy, Joan of Arc, Gaby (Algiers), Dolores Ramirez (Tortilla Flat), Tondelayo (White Cargo), Karen Vanmeer (Boom Town), Lizzie (Comrade X), and the female lead in two dozen other films. Millions around the world only knew of her as the gorgeous, exotic Hollywood actress. But to her family and a few friends she lived a secret life as a self-taught inventor. 1 Her off-screen life was very private. In her spare time she experimented with, and diagrammed concepts for inventions. She said these ideas “kept popping into” her head. One of these involved the idea of using Radio-Frequency-Hopping to prevent the jamming of radio- controlled torpedoes being used in World War Two against the Nazis. Lamar hated the Nazis, having escaped from them. She worked on this invention with the help of her friend, pianist and composer George Antheil. Lamarr and Antheil were awarded patent US 2292387A for a “Secret Communication System” device on August 11, 1942, filed under Lamarr’s married name at the time, Hedy Kiesler Markey.
  • The John Ford Collection

    The John Ford Collection

    The John Ford Collection The John Ford collection of manuscripts at the Lilly Library offers a view of Ford's entire motion picture career, from the silent era to his last movie in 1966. The material in this collection was acquired from Ford's children and grandson after his death . It was used extensively, but not exhaustively, by Ford's grandson Dan Ford in writing his biography Pappy: The Life of John Ford and includes much of the research material accumulated by Dan Ford for his book. The collection covers the years from 1906 to 1976 and contains approximately seven thousand items, of which twenty-five hundred are correspondence. John Ford was born Sean Aloysius Feeney in Portland, Maine, in 1895. He changed his name after joining his older brother Fran­ cis, who had taken the name of Ford, in Hollywood in 1913. He began his career as a prop man, stunt man, and actor, moving to directing in 1917 with a two-reeler entitled The Tornado. He spent the rest of his life directing films, through the transition from silents to sound, making over 130 in all and winning six Academy Awards. From 1917 until 1930 Ford directed at least 66 films, a great many of which were westerns starring the cowboy actor Harry Carey. Early in his career Ford was most often associated with Universal Studio but by the early twenties he was under contract to the Fox Film Corporation (later the Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corporation) until after World War II. It was at Fox that he had his first major success, with The Iron Horse in 1924.
