Abstract Details

2005, Master of Arts, Miami University, English.
This paper examines Mira Nair’s Vanity Fair (2004), Guriner Chadha’s Bride and Prejudice (2005), and Rajiv Menon’s Kandukondain Kandukondain (2000) in order to see how Indian filmmakers represent the nineteenth-century English novel, the West, India, and the Indian film industry to Indian and Western audiences. By taking into account the history of English education and the legacy of England’s colonial presence in India, this paper attempts to uncover if, in adapting nineteenth-century English literature, these filmmakers are advocating England’s imperialist ideology through their films.
