Abstract:

Building on an upsurge of interest in the Americanisation of British novels
triggered by the "Harry Potter" series, this book explores the various ways
that British novels, from children's fiction to travelogues and Book Prize
winners, have been adapted and rewritten for the US market.

Drawing on a vast corpus of over 80 works and integrating the latest research
in multimodality and stylistics, Linda Pillière analyses the modifications
introduced to make British English texts more culturally acceptable and
accessible to the American English reader. From paratextual differences in
cover, illustrations, typeface and footnotes to dialectal changes to lexis,
tense, syntax and punctuation, Pillière explores the sociocultural and
ideological pressures involved in intralingual translation and shows how the
stylistic effects of such changes – including loss of meaning, voice, rhythm
and word play – often result in a more muted American edition. In doing so,
she reveals how homing in on numerous small adjustments can provide
fascinating insights into the American publishing process and readership.
