Book Presentation:
Rather than limiting the cinema, as certain French New Wave critics feared, adaptation has encouraged new inspiration to explore the possibilities of the intersection of text and film. This collection of essays covers various aspects of adaptation studies—questions of genre and myth, race and gender, readaptation, and pedagogical and practical approaches.
About the authors:
