From examinations of Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now to
Alfred Hitchcock's Vertigo, The Literature Film Reader: Issues of
Adaptation covers a wide range of films adapted from other sources.
The first section presents essays on the hows and whys of
adaptation studies, and subsequent sections highlight films adapted
from a variety of sources, including classic and popular
literature, drama, biography, and memoir. The last section offers a
new departure for adaptation studies, suggesting that films about
history often a separate category of film study can be seen as
adaptations of records of the past. The anthology concludes with
speculations about the future of adaptation studies. Several essays
provide detailed analyses of films, in some cases discussing more
than one adaptation of a literary or dramatic source, such as The
Manchurian Candidate, The Quiet American, and Romeo and Juliet.
Other works examined include Moby Dick, The House of Mirth,
Dracula, and Starship Troopers, demonstrating the breadth of
material considered for this anthology. Although many of the essays
appeared in Literature/Film Quarterly, more than half are original
contributions. Chosen for their readability, these essays avoid
theoretical jargon as much as possible. For this reason alone, this
collection should be of interest to not only cinema scholars but to
anyone interested in films and their source material. Ultimately,
The Literature Film Reader: Issues of Adaptation provides an
excellent overview of this critical aspect of film studies.
