New Critical Approaches to Adaptation (book)

"New Critical Approaches to Adaptation" explores how stories transform when they are adapted from one medium to another, like from books to films or plays. It examines the techniques and theories used to analyze these adaptations, focusing on how they re-interpret themes, characters, and narratives. The book looks at cultural, historical, and social contexts that influence adaptations, emphasizing that these transformations are not just about fidelity to the original but also about creativity and innovation in storytelling. Ultimately, it seeks to understand the deeper meanings and implications of these changes in our culture.
