Opis

The Routledge Companion to Adaptation offers a wide-ranging perspective on current scholarship in the area of adaptation. While providing a basis in source oriented studies such as novel-to-stage and stage-to-film adaptations, it also brings to the fore the new and innovative elements currently being witnessed in this field. An emphasis on adaptation as a form of practice seeks to establish methods of investigating the topic that go beyond a purely comparative, case study model. Divided into five sections – Geography, Historiography, Identity, Technology and Reception – this is an essential resource that maps the field of adaptation across genres and disciplines.
