Editorial Reviews
John Simon, film critic for National Review; drama critic for New York Magazine
"Jane Jaffe Young has had the good idea to examine three film adaptations of fictions by D. H. Lawrence. As a scholar of both literature and film, she has a firm grasp of both mediums, matched by conscientious research into the making, reception, and evaluation of each work on both page and screen. Her analyses are sound, her assessments and exposition lucid, and her conclusions are of equal value to Lawrence scholars, film students, and all others who care about film and fiction and their fascinating interplay."
Gene D. Phillips, author of Conrad and Cinema and Ken Russell
"A thoroughly researched analysis of three key film adaptations of Lawrence's fiction, emphasizing how each filmmaker sought to capture the novelist's unique prose style in reshaping the original stories for the screen. This intriguing study gives us fresh insights into the relationship of fiction and film, and is a genuine contribution to scholarship."
