Moreover, the Gothic allows filmmakers to hold a mirror up to their own age and reveal society's deepest fears. Franco Zeffirelli's Jane Eyre, Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula, and Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet are just a few examples of film adaptations of literary Gothic texts. In this ground-breaking study, Lisa Hopkins explores how the Gothic has been deployed in these and other contemporary films and comes to some surprising conclusions. For instance, in a brilliant chapter on films geared to children, Hopkins finds that horror resides not in the trolls, wizards, and goblins that abound in Harry Potter, but in the heart of the family. Screening the Gothic offers a radical new way of understanding the relationship between film and the Gothic as it surveys a wide range of films, many of which have received scant critical attention. Its central claim is that, paradoxically, those texts whose affiliations with the Gothic were the clearest became the least Gothic when filmed. Thus, Hopkins surprises readers by revealing Gothic elements in films such as Sense and Sensibility and Mansfield Park, as well as exploring more obviously Gothic films like The Mummy and The Fellowship of the Ring. Written in an accessible and engaging manner, Screening the Gothic will be of interest to film lovers as well as students and scholars. 606 $aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aGothic revival (Literature)$zGreat Britain 606 $aEnglish literature$vAdaptations$xHistory and criticism 606 $aHorror tales, English$vTelevision adaptations 606 $aHorror tales, English$vFilm adaptations 606 $aEnglish literature$vTelevision adaptations 606 $aEnglish literature$vFilm adaptations 606 $aHorror films$xHistory and criticism 606 $aFilm adaptations 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aGothic revival (Literature) 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aHorror tales, English 615 0$aHorror tales, English 615 0$aEnglish literature 615 0$aEnglish literature 615 0$aHorror films$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aFilm adaptations. 676 $a820.9/11 700 $aHopkins$b Lisa$f1962-$01462777 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777674403321 996 $aScreening the gothic$93810971 997 $aUNINA
