Edited by Deborah Cartmell & Imelda Whelehan, both De Montfort University, UK Adaptations: Critical and Primary Sources is a reference resource bringing together over 80 landmark texts in adaptation studies. Volume One covers the history of adaptation studies, by plotting the ‘prehistory’ of the field, beginning with Vachel Lindsay’s classic Art of the Moving Picture (1915), to some of the most important critical and theoretical interventions up until the 1990s. Volume Two collects essays from the last 25 years, charting the process of critical and theoretical maturation. Volume Three covers key case studies, such as Christine Geraghty’s take on adapting Westerns and Ian Inglis’ understanding of the transformation of music into movies.
