Written by Laurence Raw, a senior lecturer in the Department of American Culture and Literature at Baskent University, Turkey, Adapting Henry James to the Screen is an exploration of classic novelist Henry James' signature works as conveyed in movies. Suggesting that most James adaptations have worked to refocus attention away from the classical narrative itself to the audience's interaction with that narrative, Adapting Henry James to the Screen covers numerous movies based on James' works, from "Berkeley Square" (1933) to "I'll Never Forget You" (1951), "The Turn of the Screw" (1974, 1989, 1992, 1995, and 1999), "The American" (1998), and many more. An extensive bibliography and index round out this scholarly, in-depth literary and cultural analysis of the tenuous media transition of immortal stories.
