Summary
- "The novels of Jane Austen are typified by their comedic power, often demonstrated by the voice of their narrators. Yet what makes them arresting can also produce an unsatisfactory transformation to cinema, where the voice of a narrator becomes obtrusive. Each author examines Austen's texts for their inherent cinematic features, analyzing the use of these features in films"--Provided by publisher.
