Literature on TV is your guide to screen adaptations of classic English literature — from BBC period dramas to big-screen Hollywood retellings. Whether you're tracking down a favourite version of Pride and Prejudice, comparing casts across adaptations of Great Expectations, or discovering a hidden gem you’d forgotten about, this site helps you explore the many ways great books have come to life on screen.
For each novel and play, you’ll find a list of TV and film productions — complete with cast details, production info, and handy links to buy the book or DVD if you'd like to add it to your collection.
