Pride and Prejudice 2.0

Interpretations, Adaptations and Transformations of Jane Austen's Classic. Edited by Hanne Birk and Marion Gymnich. In cooperation with Carolin Brühl, Anna Coogan and Ann-Sophie Treuheit. Austen’s 'Pride and Prejudice' has been adapted, transformed and translated into numerous languages. Thus the classic today constitutes an international, transcultural, transmedial and iconic phenomenon of pop culture that transcends genre boundaries as easily as centuries. The vitality of the book at the crossroads of the literary canon and pop culture is analysed by contributions focusing on its translations, Bollywood adaptations, iconic TV versions or vlog adaptations, on erotic rewritings or generic transformations into Chick-Lit, crime fiction or the Gothic mode, on teaching contexts or on a diachronic analysis of its illustrations. Complemented by a compilation of student essays, this volume affirms and celebrates 'Pride and Prejudice' being perhaps more alive than ever before. 327 Seiten, gebunden (Representations & Reflections. Studies in Anglophone Literatures and Cultures; Vol. 11/V&R Unipress/Bonn University Press 2015) leichte Lagerspuren/minor shelfwear
