Description

From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Little friction on the cover, overall good and clean. - This project was born in the discovery of common territory shared by the two apparently disparate research fields of eighteenth-century English print culture and late twentieth-century film. That common territory was the sequel. What, we found ourselves asking, do Samuel Richardson�s 'cult-novel' Pamela and the movie The Terminator have in common that might have led both to generate a sequel? This initial question broadened into a general curiosity about the sequel as a recurrent phenomenon, whether in the form of the Little Iliad, Paradise Regained, Anne of Avonlea, or Friday the 13th, Part 4; the sequel has become an almost-predictable footnote to the narratives of Western history.
