Studies of adaptation from novels to film are common, but not as widely known are adaptations with the opposite relationship. In Novelization: From Film to Novel, 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.Novelization 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, Novelization ultimately offers the opportunity to rethink the adaptation paradigm of film and literary studies.

On appelle « novellisation » le genre qui adapte un film original sous forme romanesque. Ce genre, confondu souvent avec le scénario et limité à tort à certains produits dérivés des grandes machines hollywoodiennes, est en fait aussi ancien que le cinéma lui-même, et la France a joué un rôle clé dans son développement. L'ambition de ce livre est non seulement de décrire les transformations de ce genre, qui permet de jeter une nouvelle lumière sur les rapports entre cinéma et société, mais aussi et surtout de relire un certain nombre de classiques français, du Jeanne d'Arc de Dreyer aux Vacances de Monsieur Hulot de Tati, de J'irai cracher sur vos tombes à La Vie de Jésus de Bruno Dumont par exemple. Ce livre, abondamment illustré, révèle ainsi la diversité fascinante des échanges entre cinéma et littérature.
