A partial answer lies in the way many of Henry James's recurring themes still haunt us: the workings of power, the position of women in society, the complexities of sexuality and desire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSusan Griffin has assembled fifteen of the world's foremost authorities on Henry James to examine both the impact of James on film and the impact of film on James. Anthony Mazella traces the various adaptations of \u003ci\u003eThe Turn of the Screw\u003c\/i\u003e, from novel to play to opera to film. Peggy McCormack examines the ways the personal lives of Peter Bogdanovich and then-girlfriend Cybill Shepherd influenced critical reaction to \u003ci\u003eDaisy Miller\u003c\/i\u003e (1974). Leland Person points out the consequences of casting Christopher Reeve--then better known as Superman--in \u003ci\u003eThe Bostonians\u003c\/i\u003e (1984) during the conservative political context of the first Reagan presidency. Nancy Bentley defends Jane Campion's anachronistic reading of \u003ci\u003ePortrait of a Lady\u003c\/i\u003e (1996) as being more \"authentic\" than the more common period costume dramas. Dale Bauer observes James's influence on such films as \u003ci\u003eNext Stop, Wonderland\u003c\/i\u003e (1998) and \u003ci\u003eNotting Hill\u003c\/i\u003e (1999). Marc Bousquet explores the ways \u003ci\u003eWings of the Dove\u003c\/i\u003e (1997) addresses the economic and cultural situations of Gen-X viewers. Other fascinating essays as well as a complete filmography and bibliography of work on James and film round out the collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eSusan M.
