Adaptation in Contemporary Culture: Textual Infidelities seeks to
reconfigure the ways in which adaptation is conceptualised by
considering adaptation within an extended range of generic,
critical and theoretical contexts. This collection explores
literary, film, television and other visual texts both as origins
and adaptations and offers new insights into the construction of
genres, canons and classics. Chapters investigate both classic and
contemporary texts by British and American authors, from Jane
Austen, Edgar Allen Poe and Charles Dickens to Bret Easton Ellis,
P.D James and Sarah Waters. A diverse range of literary, film and
television genres is examined, from romance to science fiction, the
Western to the;women's picture and the heritage film to postmodern
pastiche. With a thematic focus on key critical paradigms for
adaptation studies - fidelity, intertextuality, historicity and
authorship - this collection expands the field of adaptation
studies beyond its conventional focus on page to screen adaptations
to include film remakes, video games, biopics, fan fiction and
celebrity culture.
