Guest Lecture: Kamilla Elliott: "Representing African Americans in "Gone with the Wind", novel and film"; Wednesday, March 25, 2020, 11:45am-1:15pm

Kamilla Elliott is a professor of literature and media at the University of Lancaster. She completed her Ph.D at Harvard University, and has been teaching in the fields of Victorian studies and interdisciplinary literature/film studies. Her research interests center on intermediality theory and on adaptation theory and practice. Much of her recent research addresses intersections between British fiction and the rise of mass picture identification from the late eighteenth century to 1918. She is currently working on sequels to her two monographs: Rethinking the Adaptation/Theorization Debate follows up on Rethinking the Novel/Film Debate (Cambridge UP, 2003); Victorian Literature and the Rise of Picture Identification, 1836-1918 continues her work from Portraiture and British Gothic Fiction: The Rise of Picture Identification, 1764-1835 (Johns Hopkins UP, 2012). A monograph entitled Theorizing Adaptation is forthcoming from Oxford University Press in 2020.
