The Literary Filmography

6,200 Adaptations of Books, Short Stories and Other Nondramatic Works

By: Leonard Mustazza

From the very infancy of the film industry, filmmakers have relied heavily upon literature as the foundation for their movie material. Well-known literary works such as Dickens's A Christmas Carol and Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter were adapted to film in the silent era, as were such books as Thomas Dixon's Jr.'s The Klansman, basis for the film Birth of a Nation. In recent years, Nick Hornsby's About a Boy and each of Helen Fielding's Bridget Jones's Diary novels were the basis for popular movies bearing the same names. A guide to English-language works that have been adapted as theatrical and television films, this volume includes books (both fiction and non-fiction), short stories, newspaper and magazine articles and poems. Entries are arranged alphabetically by literary title with cross-listings for films made under different titles. Each entry includes the original work's title, author, year of first publication, literary prizes, and a brief plot summary. Information on film adaptation(s) of the work, including adaptation titles, director, screenwriter, principal cast and the names of the characters they portray, major awards, and availability in the most common formats (DVD, VHS), is also offered.

Myths and Realities

By: Leonard Cargan,Matthew Melko

Most people, on learning that someone is unmarried, assume that it is not by choice. Unmarried women, particularly, are seen as being incompetent or unattractive. Marriage, in an economy dominated by males, is still seen as a form of success, while a single woman is regarded as a failure. Single men are often seen as being immature, selfish, tied to mother, or deeply inadequate. The authors of this book compare singles with marrieds to separate myths and realities. Questionnaires were also given to members of a singles organization. The research yielded such interesting results as: far from being selfish, singles devote more time to community work. They are not richer, even without the expense of children, because they have to pay so much tax. They do have more fun, but they are indeed more lonely. This book presents one of the first extended scientific studies of this much misunderstood minority. 'This is a well-conducted survey of a group that has not received much attention in the past, and should be of interest to all professionals concerned with marriage and family.' -- Personality and Individual Differences
