>Given the recent popularity of films based on Henry James's novels -
>Portrait of a Lady in 1996, Washington Square and The Wings of the Dove in
>1997, and The Golden Bowl in 2000 - this panel will explore how these
>translations deviate from their sources. For, as David Lodge points out,
>despite the emphasis on the visual or seeing in James's fiction, it "is
>inherently uncinematic, being mainly concerned with the delicate rendering
>of human consciousness, with the thoughts and feelings that are known only
>to the individual subject - just the dimension of human experience that
>film, which deals in visible appearances and direct speech, finds most
>difficult to represent with precision." This of course leads to the
>question of how these translations either succeed or fail when compared to
>the masterwork.
