A Christmas Carol and Its Adaptations: A Critical Examination of Dickens's Story and Its Productions on Screen and Television - Guida, Fred

Clean, tight, unmarked; slight wear to inside corners; otherwise very minimal wear; appears unread; This critical account of A Christmas Carol's history and its various adaptations examines first the story's political, economic, and historical context. Interpretations are analyzed within their various media: stage, magic lantern shows, silent film, talkies, and television. Dickens'  lesser known Christmas stories, like "The Cricket on the Hearth," are also examined and compared to the Carol. Finally, an annotated filmography of film and television productions based on A Christmas Carol is included. The book includes 25 previously unpublished photos as well as analyses of previously undocumented productions.
