ENG 2391 From Book to Film: The Princess Bride
This supplemental class will investigate the narrative decisions involved in "translating" a popular literary text into a popular film. Through analyses of these paired works, students will be able to argue for aesthetic, generic and cultural rationales behind any changes made. This course’s iteration of Book to Film will examine the fan-favorite fantasy film, The Princess Bride (1987), and the meta-literary romance novel that preceded it, The Princess Bride: The Good Parts Version (1973).
