Incorporates new research in adaptation studies Features a chapter on the Harry Potter franchise, as well as other contemporary perspectives Showcases work by leading Shakespeare adaptation scholars Explores fascinating topics such as 'unfilmable' texts Includes detailed considerations of Ian McEwan's Atonement and Conrad's Heart of Darkness.
