dc.description.abstract	Literary biopics about female writers are often criticised for he way they portray the life and work of their protagonist. They are said to impose romantically inclined visualisations on the lives of these writers, thereby surpassing their professional endeavors and achievements. In doing so, some female literary biopics arguably provide an affirmation of the more traditional assumptions that female lives are merely about love interests and victimisation. The current study analyses two literary biopics: Mary Shelley (2017) and To Walk Invisible (2016). It will explore how these contemporary films represent female writers. This thesis sheds a light on how the biopics convey the often-challenging process of publishing, and the role of the men in the female protagonists’ lives. It appears that the men in these films often overshadow or threaten the reputation and representation of the female protagonists.	en_US
