Henry James goes to the movies / edited by Susan M. Griffin. - Lexington : The University
press of Kentucky, c2002
386 p. : ill. ; 24 cm
ISBN 978-0-8131-2191-8
Why has a nineteenth-century author with an elitist reputation proved so popular with
directors as varied as William Wyler, François Truffaut, and James Ivory? A partial answer lies
in the way many of Henry James’s recurring themes still haunt us: the workings of power, the
position of women in society, the complexities of sexuality and desire. Susan Griffin has
assembled fifteen of the world’s foremost authorities on the writer to examine both the impact
of James on film and the impact of film on James.

Paul Auster's postmodernity / Brendan Martin. - New York ; London : Routledge, 2008
x, 238 p. ; 24 cm. - (Studies in major literary authors)
ISBN 978-0-415-88889-9
This book focuses upon the literary and autobiographical writings of American novelist Paul
Auster, investigating his literary postmodernity in relation to a full range of his writings. Martin
addresses Auster's evocation of a range of postmodern notions, such as the duplicitous art of
self-invention, the role of chance and contingency, authorial authenticity and accountability,
urban dislocation, and the predominance of duality.

Virtual Americas : transnational fictions and the transatlantic imaginary / Paul Giles. -
Durham ; Lnndon : Duke University press, c2002
xiii, 337 p. ; 24 cm. - (New Americanists)
ISBN 978-0-8223-2967-1
Paul Giles looks at a number of canonical nineteenth- and twentieth-century American writers
by focusing on their interactions with British culture. He demonstrates how American authors
from Herman Melville to Thomas Pynchon have been compulsively drawn to negotiate with
British culture, so that their nationalist agendas have emerged, paradoxically, through
transatlantic dialogues.

Jane Austen's textual lives : from Aeschylus to Bollywood / Kathryn Sutherland. - Oxford :
Oxford University press, 2007
xix, 387 p. : ill. ; 24 cm
ISBN 978-0-19-923428-8
Through three intertwined histories Jane Austen's Textual Lives offers a new way of
approaching and reading a very familiar author. One is a history of the transmission and
transformation of Jane Austen through manuscripts, critical editions, biographies, and
adaptations; a second provides a conspectus of the development of English Studies as a
discipline in which the original and primary place of textual criticism is recovered; and a third
reviews the role of Oxford University Press in shaping a canon of English texts in the twentieth
century. Jane Austen can be discovered in all three.
