Ruth Prawer Jhabvala's Adapted Screenplays
Absorbing the Worlds of Others: Ruth Prawer Jhabvala’s Adapted Screenplays By Laura Fryer Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of a PhD degree at De Montfort University, Leicester. Funded by Midlands 3 Cities and the Arts and Humanities Research Council. June 2020 i Abstract Despite being a prolific and well-decorated adapter and screenwriter, the screenplays of Ruth Prawer Jhabvala are largely overlooked in adaptation studies. This is likely, in part, because her life and career are characterised by the paradox of being an outsider on the inside: whether that be as a European writing in and about India, as a novelist in film or as a woman in industry. The aims of this thesis are threefold: to explore the reasons behind her neglect in criticism, to uncover her contributions to the film adaptations she worked on and to draw together the fields of screenwriting and adaptation studies. Surveying both existing academic studies in film history, screenwriting and adaptation in Chapter 1 -- as well as publicity materials in Chapter 2 -- reveals that screenwriting in general is on the periphery of considerations of film authorship. In Chapter 2, I employ Sandra Gilbert’s and Susan Gubar’s notions of ‘the madwoman in the attic’ and ‘the angel in the house’ to portrayals of screenwriters, arguing that Jhabvala purposely cultivates an impression of herself as the latter -- a submissive screenwriter, of no threat to patriarchal or directorial power -- to protect herself from any negative attention as the former. However, the archival materials examined in Chapter 3 which include screenplay drafts, reveal her to have made significant contributions to problem-solving, characterisation and tone. -
Justin Verlander Named Tiger of the Year by the Detroit Chapter of the Baseball Writers Association of America
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: MEDIA RELATIONS THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 2011 313-471-2000 / tigers.com @Official_Tigers / @TigresdeDetroit facebook.com/tigers JUSTIN VERLANDER NAMED TIGER OF THE YEAR BY THE DETROIT CHAPTER OF THE BASEBALL WRITERS ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA DETROIT – Justin Verlander has been selected as the Tiger of the Year for 2011 in voting by the Detroit Chapter of the Baseball Writers Association of America. The righthander received 25 of the 26 first place votes, with the other vote going to first baseman Miguel Cabrera. Verlander led the American League with 24 wins, a 2.40 ERA and 250 strikeouts in 2011 to become just the second pitcher in franchise history to lead all three categories in a single season, joining Hal Newhouser, who accomplished the feat in 1945. He became the first American League pitcher to win the triple crown since Minnesota’s Johan Santana did so in 2006. In addition to leading the league in wins, ERA and strikeouts, Verlander also topped all league pitchers with an .828 winning percentage, 251.0 innings pitched, a .192 batting average against, 6.24 hits per nine innings and 8.39 baserunners per nine innings. Additional season superlatives included a 16-3 record following a Tigers loss. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, it marked the most wins by a pitcher following a team loss since Steve Carlton posted 19 such wins for the Philadelphia Phillies during the 1972 season. With 250 strikeouts, Verlander has now recorded 200-or-more strikeouts in three straight seasons, marking the longest streak by a Tigers pitcher since Mickey Lolich did so in six straight seasons from 1969-74. -

Revised Pages The Best of Bacon: Select Cuts John U. Bacon https://www.press.umich.edu/9764639/best_of_bacon University of Michigan Press, 2018 The Voice of the Tigers May 5, 2010 The Detroit News If you grew up in Michigan in the seventies, as I did, Bob Seger sang the soundtrack to your summers, and Ernie Harwell provided the voice over. Who is Ernie Harwell? Well, if you were listening to a baseball game and the announcer somehow claimed to know that the fan who just caught the foul ball is from Calumet, Kalkaska, or Kalamazoo, it’s a safe bet you were tuned in to Ernie Harwell. Our family trips up north were always accompanied by Harwell’s com- fortable cadences flling the car. He didn’t simply broadcast baseball games. He turned them into stories. In Harwell’s world, a batter didn’t merely strike out. He was “called out for excessive window shopping,” or “caught standing there like the house by the side of the road.” Like millions of others, my love of baseball was fostered by Ernie Har- well. He covered more games than anyone in baseball history, including forty-one years’ worth for the Tigers. When Sports Illustrated drew up its all-time baseball dream team, it tapped Harwell as the radio announcer. In 1981, he became the frst active announcer to be inducted into the baseball Hall of Fame, and his voice has appeared in six flms, including classics like Cobb, Paper Lion, and One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. “TV, and especially the instant replay, made the analyst the number one guy in the booth, not the play-by-play man,” Harwell told me. -

I ¡Qt>. 565 MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL PRINCIPAL PLAY-BY-PLAY ANNOUNCERS: THEIR OCCUPATION, BACKGROUND, AND PERSONAL LIFE Michael R. Emrick A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY June 1976 Approved by Doctoral Committee DUm,s¡ir<y »»itti». UNIVERSITY LIBRARY 11 ABSTRACT From the very early days of radio broadcasting, the descriptions of major league baseball games have been among the more popular types of programs. The relationship between the ball clubs and broadcast stations has developed through experimentation, skepticism, and eventual acceptance. The broadcasts have become financially important to the teams as well as the advertisers and stations. The central person responsible for pleasing the fans as well as satisfying the economic goals of the stations, advertisers, and teams—the principal play- by-play announcer—had not been the subject of intensive study. Contentions were made in the available literature about his objectivity, partiality, and the influence exerted on his description of the games by outside parties. To test these contentions, and to learn more about the overall atmosphere in which this focal person worked, a study was conducted of principal play-by-play announcers who broadcasted games on a day-to-day basis, covering one team for a local audience. With the assistance of some of the announcers, a survey was prepared and distributed to both announcers who were employed in the play-by-play capacity during the 1975 season and those who had been involved in the occupation in past seasons. -
We Have Met the Enemy Joshua 9:1-27 There's a Popular Television Game Show on ABC Called to Tell the Truth. the Original Vers
We Have Met the Enemy Joshua 9:1-27 There’s a popular television game show on ABC called To Tell the Truth. The original version of the show began in 1956 and ran through 1968. If you’ve not seen it, there are three contestants on a panel who are questioned by four celebrity judges. The central character on the panel has an usual job or has had a significant life experience of some kind. Two of the people on the panel are imposters and one is the actual person. The judges question each contestant and then have to decide which person they think is telling the truth. In many cases, the celebrity judges pick one of the imposters because they’re so convincing and skilled at deception. Have you ever been deceived by someone? I’m sure all of us have. Our study today in the book of Joshua brings us to chapter 9. In Joshua chapter 9, we find the story of a lie that Joshua and the children of Israel fell for. It was a lie that could have been detected had they sought God’s wisdom. But instead, they made a binding covenant with one of their enemies. What happened as a result of falling prey to this deception? What lessons can we learn about spiritual discernment and why it’s so vital in our walk with God? Let’s take a moment to put Joshua chapter 9 into context. In taking possession of the Land of Promise, the sequence of battles recorded in the first half of this narrative shows that Joshua’s first objective was to conquer the center part of the land. -
