LIT 260 - German Film Adaptation

Institution:

Washington and Lee University

Subject:

Literature in Translation

Description:

Prerequisite: Completion of FW requirement. This course examines both the history and theory of film adaptation by studying how directors treat and transform major literary works into moving pictures. As closely related art forms, literature and film have much in common – narrative frames, archetypes and audiences, as well as themes, motifs, and values. The study of works of literature and film in tandem leads to the development of more successful strategies and methods for reading texts and images as well as a better understanding of both genres.
