Book excerpt: This historical and transnational study of the film and television translations of "Wuthering Heights""on Film and Television" presents the after-life of Emily Bronte s novel as a series of cultural journeys actualizing the readers, film-makers and spectators-viewers as much as the films and television dramas themselves. In the course of this study, which offers a dynamic mapping of the unconscious of the source text, students in English studies, media cultures and adaptation studies are encouraged to see adaptation as a mode of transmission and foreignization relying creatively, in this case, on the re-workings, in various contexts, of the Gothic architecture of "Mise en Abime" and on the degree of involvement or foreignisation of the viewers. Exploring extraordinary film and television specimens including a (lost) British silent film scripted by Stannard, an exciting film project by the British New Wave, the Bunuel and Wyler classics, the BBC teleplays and serials, the unforgettable Japanese and French versions, and the latest adaptation by Andrea Arnold (2011) "Wuthering Heights""on Film and Television "is the first comprehensive, transnational analysis to focus wholly on the adaptation of this much-loved book."
