Seminar paper from the year 2003 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Comparative Literature, grade: 1,7 (A-), University of Bayreuth (English Literature), course: Literature and Media Transformations, language: English, abstract: "When a great artist in one medium produces a work based on a masterpiece in the same or other medium, we can expect interesting results" (E.
