ENG 3114- Fall 2025 - Robertson

This course will study classic and contemporary theories of film adaptation, borrowing as well as breaking from the concept of fidelity to create a space to explore how the cinema engages with literature, and how literary stories are deformed and reformed through the medium of film. In addition, the class will learn to compare and contrast major novels with their famous film counterparts, understanding the legacies, controversies, and techniques that went into formulating these media powerhouses of popular culture.
