Abstract

For centuries, African and Irish people have traversed the Atlantic, as slaves, servants, migrants and exiles, as political organizers and cultural workers. Their experiences intersected, their cultures influenced one another. They have competed over work and assimilation. Always they have been defined in relation to one another. This multi-disciplinary volume of essays explores the connections that have defined the 'Black and Green Atlantic' in culture, politics, race, and labour. It explores the relation between two historically oppressed peoples - the dispossessed and colonized Irish, forced into emigration and often indenture, and Africans captured and enslaved - whose experiences of racialization and citizenship differed utterly. The Irish became white while both slaves and free blacks were denied full citizenship and even humanity. But there were also invaluable moments of solidarity and cultural connection between them. Such moments make this volume a history of future possibilities as well as one of past antagonisms.

Abstract

"A comprehensive history of British literature on film, analyzing the changing cinematic art and politics of adaptation between the years 1896 and 2010"-- "From The Death of Nancy Sykes (1897) to The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014) and beyond, cinematic adaptations of British literature participate in a complex and fascinating history. The History of British Literature on Film, 1895-2015 is the only comprehensive narration of cinema's 100-year-old love affair with British literature. Unlike previous studies of literature and film, which tend to privilege particular authors such as Shakespeare and Jane Austen, or particular texts such as Frankenstein, or particular literary periods such as Medieval, this volume considers the multiple functions of filmed British literature as a cinematic subject in its own right-one reflecting the specific political and aesthetic priorities of different national and historical cinemas. In what ways has the British literary canon authorized and influenced the history and aesthetics of film, and in what ways has filmed British literature both affirmed and challenged the very idea of literary canonicity? Seeking to answer these and other key questions, this indispensable study shows how these adaptations emerged from and continue to shape the social, artistic, and commercial aspects of film history."--
