    Jane Austen's novels have been the target of adaptations for almost two centuries, from the 19th century London stage to Hollywood and the BBC. Why? The class will look at the novel that some critics call Austen's greatest, "Emma," and ask why its characters, themes, and ideas have fascinated so many readers. Then we will look at the ways these materials have been understood, misunderstood, and recast by various films and TV miniseries. In particular we will study the Gwyneth Paltrow film version (1996), the Kate Beckinsale BBC version (1997), and the first-rate (in my view) "Clueless" (1995). Students should read and bring to class the Penguin edition, available in the Colorado College bookstore. The class will break for lunch and conclude with afternoon tea. Taught by George Butte. Call the CC Arts Festival office to register at 719-389-6098 or register online at http://www.coloradocollege.edu/SummerPrograms/EnrichYourLife/. Includes lunch/tea. Sponsored by the CC Summer Festival of the Arts.
