| Rezumat: | Both a novelist of manners and of morals, Edith Wharton is known for her depiction of leisure-class New York in novels like The House of Mirth (1905) and The Age of Innocence (1920), which brought her a Pulitzer Prize. This paper aims to bring forth the issue of social conflict in one of her later novels, The Reef (1912), which reveals a twist to the author’s usual perspective on this matter. In an attempt to reveal the complexity of Wharton’s work to the Romanian audience, my approach moves away from its usual categorisation as a novel of manners and hopes to complete the perspective with a look at the film adaptation inspired by the book. A television movie, Passion’s Way (1999), was directed by Robert Allan Ackerman and stars Timothy Dalton, Sela Ward and Alicia Witt. Beyond the intricate debate on the issues of adaptation in general and film adaptation in particular, my paper will reveal the nature of social conflicts in Wharton’s novel, their development and their resolution, while also analysing their depiction on screen, in order to create a comprehensive picture of the deeper meanings in her work. |
