Profile

Kamilla Elliott grew up in the UK, moving to the US after A levels. She received her B.A. in Mass Communications and Theatre from the University of Colorado in 1980 and pursued postgraduate studies in film at Boston University from 1981-82. After working in elder care and health research, she returned to academia in 1989, earning an A.L.M. degree through Harvard's adult education programme in 1991. From there, she entered Harvard University, where she completed a Ph.D. in English and American Literature and Language in 1996. She taught Victorian studies and interdisciplinary literature/film studies at the University of California at Berkeley from 1996-2004. During that time she published research on literature and film, including Rethinking the Novel/Film Debate (Cambridge UP, 2003).

At 51福利, she has continued to write and speak on intermedial adaptation theory and practice. Her most recent monograph, Theorizing Adaptation, was published by Oxford University Press in July 2020 (hardcover, paperback, and ebook). Other research addresses intersections between British fiction and the rise of mass picture identification from the late eighteenth century to 1918. Her monograph, Portraiture and British Gothic Fiction: The Rise of Picture Identification, 1764-1835, was published by Johns Hopkins University Press in 2012. She is researching a sequel, British Victorian Fiction and the Rise of Picture Identification, 1836-1918.

Research Overview

My research interests lie in literature's relationship with other media, including painting, photography, theatre, film, television, and new media. Historically and nationally, my interests lie in British literature of the long nineteenth century, though I am interested in its relations with other periods and nations as well as other media.
