Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2006 im Fachbereich Englisch - Literatur, Werke, Note: 1,3, Albert-Ludwigs-Universitat Freiburg, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: This paper investigates whether or not the criticism of Victorian society is still conveyed in the sense of the author in Rouben Mamoulian's film. It is attempted to show whether the changes in the film vitally effect Stevenson's original message or if they simply reflect the influence of the medium. A brief genesis of both works, novel and film, will be given in the beginning, in order to understand which influences shaped Stevenson's novella and which important adaptions and changes preceded Mamoulian's film. Afterwards a short paragraph focuses on the structure and conception of the novella, since it is assumed that the original story is known. An extended summary of the film including some of the cinematic techniques applied by Mamoulian follows. Attention is thereby given to differences and similarities in the chronology of events, as well as Mamoulian's cinematic implementation of the material. This first direct comparison serves as basis for later analysis and will show how close the storyline of the adaption is to the original one. In the next section the protagonist of both works will be characterized and compared with their corresponding medial counterpart. The constellation and confrontation of the main characters is essential and will reveal changes in their role or function. Because eroticism plays a major role in the film, the last section will briefly depict this eroticism and analyze whether this sexual reading is based on indications in the novella. This last step of the comparison will show whether a sexual interpretation is justified and whether the eroticism conceals Stevensons's message. These analyses form the basis for a final conclusion on the subject-matter.

Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2010 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,0, University of Regensburg (Institut für Anglistik und Amerikanistik), course: Hauptseminar Victorian Gothic, language: English, abstract: On the following pages we will have a closer look at the process of film adaptation by analyzing Rouben Mamoulian’s Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1932) – probably the most accomplished film version of Stevenson’s novella – and by comparing it with its literary model. At first, we will recapitulate the complexity of the source text, especially with regard to the question of genre. We will also examine T.R. Sullivan’s theatrical adaptation, which can in some respects be seen as a blueprint for Mamoulian’s film. Then, we will have a look at the literary macrostructure of the film at hand, discuss Mamoulian’s interpretation of Stevenson’s Strange Case and compare the source text with its screen adaptation from a narratological point of view. To finish our analysis, we will shed light on some techniques used by the director in order to communicate his ideas.

Book excerpt: The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a novella written by the Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson and first published in 1886. It is about a London lawyer who investigates strange occurrences between his old friend, Dr. Henry Jekyll and the misanthropic Mr. Hyde.The work is known for its vivid portrayal of a split personality, and since the 1880s dozens of stage and film adaptations have been produced. Until 2012, with the publication of Strange Case of Mr. Bodkin and Father Whitechapel by Elias Keller, there had been no major adaptations of the novel that remain faithful to the narrative structure of Stevenson's original.[1] Most omit the figure of Utterson, telling the story from Jekyll's and Hyde's viewpoint and often having them played by the same actor, thus eliminating entirely the mystery aspect of the true identity of Hyde, which was the original's twist ending and not the basic premise it is today. In addition, many adaptations introduce a romantic element which does not exist in the original story.[2] While Hyde is portrayed in the novella as an evil-looking man of diminutive height, many adaptations have taken liberties with the character's physical appearance, sometimes depicting him with bestial or downright monstrous features.

Download or read book Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde written by Robert Louis Stevenson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1886 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This short novel, published in 1886 by Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-94), may well be more familiar in its many stage, film and television adaptations than in its original form, while 'Jekyll and Hyde' has become the shorthand for a character who seems to have a 'split personality'. Stevenson claimed that the main features of the story came to him in a dream, and he wrote it very rapidly, though ill and bedridden at the time. Priced at one shilling (the genre of macabre and horror stories was known as the 'shilling shocker'), it was an immediate success. Though not the first of Stevenson's works to explore the notion of the divided self, in a period where increasing concern was felt about the possible negative sides of discoveries in both the physical and biological sciences, the story clearly struck a chord, and it has remained popular ever since.

Book excerpt: ABOUT THE BOOK Robert Louis Stevenson’s The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a lesson in suspense. Stevenson creates one singular point of mystery that successfully sustains reader intrigue and anxiety across nine tightly written chapters. Speaking as a writer: bravo, RLS, bravo. The simplicity of the central question - excuse me, Mr. Hyde, who exactly are you? - is highly effective. The entirety of Stevenson’s narrative stems from this predicament. The suspense comes from an absence of knowledge. We, the reader, know nothing. Sure, Enfield tells a fairly bone-chilling story about a monster who stomps on a little girl at 3:00 am, but Hyde remains an enigma. Stevenson plays on natural human curiosity by piquing interest with a perturbing opening tale, then rests, and uses Utterson’s ignorance as a buffer to withhold information. Seriously, who is Hyde? MEET THE AUTHOR Pennies, Blacktop, and Words EXCERPT FROM THE BOOK Written in 1885, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde falls under the category of the Late Victorian era. Attributes of the era included a dissatisfaction with religious faith and the aesthetic feature of interior moods and thoughts projected outward onto the world. Jekyll and Hyde also embodies literary themes associated with the 1890s. Chief among these is the allegory present in the novella which functions as both a critique and a scathing exposé of the hypocritical self-righteousness and repressive moral severity of British society at the turn of the 19th century. Upon its publication in 1886, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde was well received in both the United Kingdom and the United States. Though marketed as a “shilling shocker,” Jekyll and Hyde received favorable reviews from both The Times (bookstores refused to stock the novella until a review was published in the newspaper) and Stevenson’s contemporaries. The poet Gerard Manley Hopkins wrote that “the superficial touches of character are admirable” and “worthy of Shakespeare.” Jack London shared a similar admiration stating, “as a storyteller there isn’t his [Stevenson’s] equal.” Stevenson’s chilling novella of dual identities has secured a lasting place in the canon of Western culture. Over one hundred film, television, and theater adaptions of Jekyll and Hyde exist today. The grotesque nature of Edward Hyde and the genteel fallibility of Henry Jekyll unflinchingly depicts a universal psychological struggle between interior desire and external morality that continues to resonate with readers around the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This examination of Robert Louis Stevenson's The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1886) and its reinterpretations presents original interviews with novelists Emma Tennant and Valerie Martin, and playwright David Edgar, framed by analysis of their works. In so doing, it moves away from common division between those who write literature and those who write about literature. Its examination of Stevenson's original novel and its comprehensive survey of the history of Jekyll and Hyde reveals that these three late 20th-century writers react against the tradition of reinterpretations and recover Stevenson's structure. Arguing that their returns to a Victorian text are motivated by contemporary concerns about class and gender politics that find an apt vehicle for exploration in Stevenson's story, this book identifies a trend of neo-Victorianism...
