Yet her fiction often referenced film and popular Hollywood culture, and she even sold the rights to several of her novels to Hollywood studios. Edith Wharton on Film explores these seeming contradictions and examines the relationships among Wharton' s writings, the popular culture in which she published them, and the subAmerican fictionFilm adaptationsVisual perception in literatureAmerican fictionVisual perception in literature.791.43/75Boswell Parley Ann1692662MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910809891103321Edith Wharton on film4069915UNINA
