Synopsis
Reading Adaptations provides an original introduction to the widespread and extremely popular practice of stage adaptation in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Through a series of specific case studies, the book offers readings of stage versions of works by writers such as William Godwin, Walter Scott, and Charles Dickens and establishes important new contexts within which to view the production and reception of the period's canonical literature. -- .

First Edition. Fine copy in the original color-printed, stiff-card wrappers. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered. Physical description; xii, 175 p. ; 24 cm. Notes; With bibliographies. Contents; Part 1, Reading matters: Reading now and then / V. Cunningham -- Sense and semblance: the implications of virtuality / S. Birkerts -- Television and literacy / C. MacCabe -- Hauntings / A.S. Byatt -- Love of reading / D. Lessing -- Reading to make us glad / R. Hattersley -- What you reading for? / J. Treglown -- Critical literacy and creative reading / R. Hoggard -- Part 2, Reading contexts: An irrelevant education / M. Schmidt -- Downhill all the way? The commercialisation of publishing / Rivers Scott -- Revolution in the book trade / C. Sinclair-Stevenson -- The flexible bookshop / E. and C. Stephenson -- Television and its influence on reading / S. Hearst -- Pt. 3, Reading education: English teachers and the third way / B. Marshall -- Important reading lessons / M. Meek -- Changing literacy in the early years of school / H. Dombey -- Reading in the primary school / T. Furlong -- Reading for pupils aged 11 to 14 / J. Wilks -- Teaching disadvantaged readers / P. Lease -- Reading at ages 14 to 16 / A. Barnes -- Sixth-form studies / J. Ogborn -- Reading and the university / J. Simons. Summary; The 1980s and 1990s have witnessed a considerable reaction to the progressive utopianism of the 1960s. In education debates all over the English-speaking world, the talk is now of competition, back to basics, league tables and the demands of the market. According to the editor, this reaction has gone too far. Children need to be helped not only to achieve basic literacy but to read "critically", to discriminate, to evaluate, and to enjoy great literature. It is not enough to help children to achieve literacy if this simply means they read only sufficiently well to be seduced by advertisers and tabloid newpapers. The essays in this book are by people engaged in the "promotion" of English, be they primary teachers or university lecturers, novelists or poets, publishers, social commentators, politicians or professors. Subjects; Reading - Great Britain. Media literacy - Great Britain. Books and reading - Great Britain. Education, Humanistic - Great Britain. Publishers and publishing - Great Britain. English language - Study and teaching - Great Britain. English language - Study and teaching - Political aspects - Great Britain. Reading. Books and reading.
