John O'Neill, the Edmund A. LeFevre Professor of English emeritus, will present a talk titled "Delight or Instruction? Henry Fielding’s Tom Jones, Book and Film,” on Wednesday Jan. 13, at 7:30 p.m., at the Other Side in Utica. This is the fifth event in the Imagining America collaboration between Hamilton College and The Other Side and the first of the spring 2010 semester.
Henry Fielding's great novel has been adapted four times for film. O’Neill will show clips from three film versions -- Anthony Richardson's 1963 Tom Jones, Robert Sadoff's 1976 The Bawdy Adventures of Tom Jones, and Metin Heuysin's 1997 BBC miniseries The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling -- and will discuss how the various adaptations have preserved, recreated, or altered the novel's ethical message.
The Other Side is located at 2011 Genesee St. in Utica, across from the Uptown Theater and next to the Cafe Domenico. Parking is available, and admission is free.
