Inhalt: Jane Austen (1775 to 1817), author of six novels renowned for their irony and humour, their depiction of contemporary English social life and also for their underlying serious qualities, would seem an unlikely candidate for the title “hippest pop writer to go to Hollywood”. But this is what she was called after six films of the novels appeared between 1995 and 1997 alone. Altogether over twenty film and tv adaptations of Jane Austen"s novels have been made in Hollywood, Bollywood and by the BBC and others. In this seminar we will examine Austen’s novels in context before moving to the film and tv adaptions, focussing especially on "Pride and Prejudice" and "Emma", asking the reason for Austen"s sudden appeal during the mid-1990s and to what degree the Hollywood studio films differ from the all-British tv and film productions. You should read "Pride and Prejudice" and "Emma" during the term break; copies can be bought from Unibuch.
