| Short description
This comprehensive collection of original essays explores the aesthetics, economics, and mechanics of movie adaptation, from the days of silent cinema to contemporary franchise phenomena. Featuring a range of theoretical approaches, and chapters on the historical, ideological and economic aspects of adaptation, the volume reflects today's acceptance of intertextuality as a vital and progressive cultural force. It features a chapter on the Harry Potter franchise, as well as other contemporary perspectives, showcases work by leading Shakespeare adaptation scholars, and includes detailed considerations of Ian McEwan's Atonement and Conrad's Heart of Darkness.
