Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The book explores the intersection of literature and film through a historical and transnational lens, challenging traditional adaptation theories focused solely on fidelity. By examining case studies like Sense and Sensibility and The Third Man, it highlights how adapted works serve as significant social and cultural events, reflecting and shaping cultural negotiations and struggles throughout history. This approach emphasizes the importance of understanding adaptations as dynamic phenomena within American popular culture, rather than static interpretations.
