Call for Papers - Special Edition of Persuasions Online - Pride and Prejudice 2005
The Jane Austen Society of North America has put out a call for papers for a special edition of Persuasions On-Line to be published in July 2007 focusing on the 2005 adaptation of PRIDE AND PREJUDICE.
Persuasions On-Line announces a special issue on the most recent film adaptation of Pride and Prejudice: the 2005 Focus Features film starring Keira Knightley and Matthew MacFadyen.
The film garnered the attention and praise of film critics and the Academy, earning Keira Knightley glowing reviews and a nomination for Best Actress. The scholarly reception of the film has been far more mixed and limited, and often considers the film only in the context of other Austen adaptations, especially the 1995 Colin Firth/Jennifer Ehle BBC/A&E production. We invite papers that offer substantive critical readings of the 2005 Focus Features Production in a variety of contexts.
Guidelines are available through the link. When the issue is published we certainly will post a link.
