In \u003ci\u003eNovelization: From Film to Novel\u003c\/i\u003e, Jan Baetens explores how transforming an original film or screenplay into a novel establishes a new genre and revises our understanding of narrative theory more broadly. A typical example of popular literature, novelization has remained an overlooked practice in spite of the cultural and commercial importance of the genre, which is as old as cinema itself. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eNovelization\u003c\/i\u003e offers a historical overview of the genre, focusing on the various formats that have been adopted since the first decades of the twentieth century until today: daily and weekly novelizations, cheap brochures, pocket books, and trade editions. It studies the specific features of the genre from various points of view: narrative style, illustrations, authorship, and marketing. By studying novelization from a broad historical perspective, Baetens reframes our understanding of adaptation and the relationship between cinema and literature. Rather than assume that cinematic adaptations either cannibalize or rejuvenate literature, \u003ci\u003eNovelization\u003c\/i\u003e ultimately offers the opportunity to rethink the adaptation paradigm of film and literary studies.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJan Baetens is Professor of Cultural and Literary Studies at University of Leuven. \u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 202\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.48 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 28, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51786383982880,"sku":"9780814254738","price":59.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/03befc7aae7320d6725a0341b30bec5a.webp?v=1780633193","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/novelization-from-film-to-novel-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
