Prof. Foltz Publishes Article on Film Novelizations
In the most recent issue of Modernism/modernity, Prof. Jonathan Foltz has published new research on the neglected literary genre of the film novelization. In the article, Prof. Foltz details the historical origins of the genre as a commercial product, and proceeds to consider the formal and generic questions afflicting the novelization as a distressed re-mediation of literary history. How can we make sense of the novelization as taking place at once within media history and within literary history? What is happening to the generic conventions of the novel in novelization? And what might the sub-genre tell us about the parallel development of literary modernism and the rise of narrative film? Find the article here.
