Adaptations

Шаблон:Main

Lytton started the novel after having completed the first act of a play on the same subject, then dropping it in favour of what he considered the higher art form. This first act was then extended into a five-act play, giving proper credit to Lytton, by New Orleans poet Espy William Henricks Williams (30 January 1852 – 28 August 1908), and published 1873, shortly after publication by W. G. Wills of The Fate of Eugene Aram,[2] which has been performed (as Eugene Aram) in England and Australia.[3]

The novel was adapted three times for silent films, in 1914,[4] 1915[5] and 1924.[6]
