Opis

There has been a rise in the number of literary adaptations in cinema, from cartoon spin-offs such as the Batman series, to screen versions of Emma and Sense and Sensibility . But what happens to popular texts when they are transformed into an entirely different medium, and what of the novelization of popular films, usually dismissed as part This book considers the theoretical and practical difficulties surrounding the translation of a text into film, and also looks at the reverse process; the novelization of films like Jane Campion's The Piano, and the spin-off literature which collects around cult sci-fi programmes such as The X-Files and Star Trek. Through three sets of case studies, the contributors examine the key debates surrounding adaptations.
