Summary

Cinematic Fictions is often fascinating. Seed makes reference to an impressive range of texts in comparison and counterpoint to those around the key fictions around which each chapter's discussion revolves. This will make this particular study attractive to teachers of early twentieth-century American literature, as well as of American Studies more broadly, of modules that focus on modernity and on visual and film cultures.' Professor Sharon Monteith, University of Nottingham. The phrase "cinematic fiction" generally has been accepted into critical discourse, but usually only in the context of postwar novels. This volume examines the influence of a particular medium, film, on another, the novel, in the first half of twentieth-century American literature. Offering new insights into classics such as The Great Gatsby and The Grapes of Wrath, as well as discussing critical writings on film and active participation in filmmaking by major writers such as William Faulkner, Cinematic Fictions will be compulsory reading for scholars of American film and literature alike.
