Arguing that we need to reconceptualize the study of adaptations, Andrew Watts and Kate Griffiths examine six canonical French novelists and the recreations of their works in a variety of media. Rather than viewing the works of Balzac, Hugo, Flaubert, Zola, Maupassant, and Verne as authentic original versions to be defended from the impurities of adapting hands, the authors demonstrate that these “originals” are themselves fashioned from the adapted voices of a host of earlier artists, moments, and media. Analyzing reworkings of canonical literary texts across time and media to emphasize the ways adaptations cast new light on source texts, Adapting Nineteenth-Century France reveals the complexities of both nineteenth-century and contemporary notions of originality and authorial borrowing.

The MICHIGAN TRANSFER SCHOLARSHIP GUIDE helps people plan their college education, and better make the decision to transfer between schools. Everyone seeking a college education-from older non-traditional students, to high school graduates-can benefit from the information in this in this book. In today's world most college students do not stay at one institution for their entire education. Thousands of people every year transfer from community colleges to four-year universities, but many end up in programs that do not fit their needs and are too expensive. Many more students at four-year universities are looking for better schools to attend and are desperately in need of the information this book has to offer. Transferring for better programs, better prices, and better living arrangements is becoming much more common. Colleges and universities often leave students and parents frustrated by red tape, paper work, and confusing policies, which can hinder, or sometimes, stop a person from earning a college degree. Most people know a student who dropped-out of college because they ran out of money or lost financial aid. Others leave because they become agitated by rules and degree requirements that unnecessarily add time to earning their degree. The transfer system and how it can benefit the average person are described here. Available scholarships, housing requirements, tuition prices, and how credits transfer are discussed in great detail. Don't let the pursuit of your degree get sidetracked by finances or red tape. Read this book, be prepared, and become educated.

The History of French Literature on Film (The History of World Literatures on Film)

French novels, plays, poems and short stories, however temporally or culturally distant from us, continue to be incarnated and reincarnated on cinema screens across the world. From the silent films of Georges Méliès to the Hollywood production of Gustave Flaubert's Madame Bovary directed by Sophie Barthes, The History of French Literature on Film explores the key films, directors, and movements that have shaped the adaptation of works by French authors since the end of the 19th century. Across six chapters, Griffiths and Watts examine the factors that have driven this vibrant adaptive industry, as filmmakers have turned to literature in search of commercial profits, cultural legitimacy, and stories rich in dramatic potential. The volume also explains how the work of theorists from a variety of disciplines (literary theory, translation theory, adaptation theory), can help to deepen both our understanding and our appreciation of literary adaptation as a creative practice. Finally, this volume seeks to make clear that adaptation is never a simple transcription of an earlier literary work. It is always simultaneously an adaptation of the society and era for which it is created. Adaptations of French literature are thus not only valuable artistic artefacts in their own right, so too are they important historical documents which testify to the values and tastes of their own time.
