| Sumario: | This volume charts the evolution of Pemberley Digital's transmedia adaptations of nineteenth-century novels in order to interrogate the uneasy relationship between transmedia storytelling and consumer culture. It first examines two Austen-centered films, Lost in Austen and Austenland, that present "immersive" Austen experiences that anticipate Pemberley Digital's transmedia adaptations, bridging traditional film adaptations and transmedia's participatory culture. Subsequent chapters turn to Pemberley Digital's transmedia adaptations of Austen's and Shelley's novels to argue that, although such adaptations may appear feminist in their emphasis on female protagonists, their larger narratives expose a subtext of anxiety about unstable gender roles, financial vulnerability, and the undervaluation of career-specific skill sets, both for the characters and the production company itself.-- |
