About this book
Reviews
“A timely and wide-ranging investigation into the slippery nature of cultural prestige: who determines what it is; why it matters; and how it circulates and multiplies across media forms. As such, this volume constitutes an important addition to adaptation studies.” (Simone Murray, Monash University, Australia)
“This impeccably edited and provocative collection thankfully ignores debates about textual fidelity and authorship, turning instead to questions of cultural capital and prestige in the circulation of adaptations.” (Dan Hassler-Forest, Utrecht University, Netherlands)
“This is a timely and welcome volume that will be highly valued by a range of readers, both for scholarship and for pleasure.” (Deborah Cartmell, De Montfort University, UK)Editors and Affiliations
