Adaptations cover

An indispensable reference collection focusing on the most important contributions in the field of adaptation studies.

With topics ranging from the limitations of the novel to adapting stage to screen, over 80 articles from a wide range of international scholars, film critics and novelists combine to make Adaptations: Critical and Primary Sources an original overview of critical debates today. The three-volume set begins with an historical overview of the field of adaptations studies, beginning with works from the early twentieth century through to seminal pieces of the 1990s. The volumes then divulge how the scholarly legacies laid out in those formative years has impacted the discipline today, and how it can be studied alongside literature and film studies.

This carefully considered, clever collection offers a treasure trove of sources on this most compelling and enduring of art forms, reaching both back to Adaptation Studies’ underappreciated past and forward to its as yet uncharted future. The work is valuable, insightful, and important. * Modern Language Review *
