"This is a fresh and exciting collection of essays. Its embrace of different media - ranging from film, television, and performance, through visual documents such as maps and photographs, through to digital technologies - extends our understanding of adaptation as a field of study." - Julie Sanders, Professor of English Literature and Drama, University of Nottingham, UK
