| Title |
Visualising Nineteenth-Century Literature: Text, Illustration, Adaptation (FM and FS BA Seminar: Literature and Other Media) |
| Description |
Much nineteenth-century literature is inter-, multi-, or transmedial by nature. Many novels pair text with illustrations and/or were serialised, i.e. published in magazines or monthly parts before they were published in book form. Not only did these texts, therefore, appear over a period of many months, but individual instalments were also placed in the context of different texts and images in the course of their publication. In addition, writers occasionally re-wrote their own works for different media (turning a novel into a play, or vice versa). Finally, many nineteenth-century literary texts have had transmedial afterlives and have been adapted in different media, such as film and music. Such adaptations can also be conceptualised as a form of cultural sustainability. In this course, we will look at several of these phenomena to explore a range of relations between literature and other media in the nineteenth century.
Important Dates:
Milena Michalek’s stage adaptation of Wuthering Heights, Sturmhöhe, is playing at Bühnen Bern this autumn (in German). We will watch this on Tuesday, 22 October. There will also be a film evening where we will watch different film adaptations of our various set texts together (Tuesday, 29 October). And there will be a mini conference on Friday, 29 November. Attendance of these events is compulsory.

Charles Dickens, The Old Curiosity Shop. 1841. Preferred edition: Penguin, 2000 (ed. Norman Page)
A selection of Romantic poems will be available on ILIAS at the beginning of September.
