Harper Lee's To kill a mockingbird

"This book, by a leading literary and film scholar, shines light on the complex adaptation process that brought Lee's work to the commercial screen. R. Barton Palmer deftly places Mockingbird within both its fictional setting - a 1930s Southern town marked deeply by racial injustice - and the postwar Civil Rights era that saw the novel and film emerge to such popularity. Palmer demonstrates, with learning and subtlety, how the indirect indictment of the insupportable evil of Jim Crow in both novel and film has proven spectacularly successful in changing hearts and minds for nearly a century."--Jacket.
