Authorship: Alfred Hitchcock & Rebecca

Authorship: Alfred Hitchcock & Rebecca

This is a lecture from January 2013, delivered as part of a course on Film and Literature: Adaptation. This week's topic was authorship and film, using Alfred Hitchcock as a case study, with reference at the end to the adaptation of Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca. This was delivered to a cohort of students most of whom were not film majors, and some form very different disciplines, so I tried to make it accessible to those who hadn't encountered the topic before, without reducing it too much.
