Emily Brontë's beloved novel Wuthering Heights has been adapted countless times for film and television over the decades. Valérie V.Hazette offers here a historical and transnational study of those adaptations, presenting the afterlife of the book as a series of cultural journeys that focuses as much on the readers, filmmakers, and viewers as on the dramas themselves. Taking in the British silent film; French, Mexican, and Japanese versions; the British television serials; and more, this richly theoretical volume is the first comprehensive global analysis of the adaptation of Wuthering Heights for film and television.
"'Valérie V. Hazette's book provides the most thorough and detailed account we have of adaptations of Wuthering Heights for film and television over the course of nearly a century.'"
Janet Gezari, Cercles
"'Throughout her study,however, it was Hazette's personal engagement with her material, her breadth of perspective, and her ability to move with confidence between the historical, the academic and the theoretical, that made this "journey across times and cultures" so worthwhile.'"
Liz Roberts, Media Education Journal
"'Valérie Hazette's Wuthering Heights on Film and Television: A Journey Across Time and Cultures is a thorough and wide-ranging study of the transnational and transme-dial afterlives of Emily Brontë's canonical novel.'"
