Adaptation Theory and Criticism : Postmodern Literature and Cinema in the USA

as well as carefully articulated postmodern methodology and issues, Gordon Slethaug includes several case studies of major Hollywood productions and small studio films, some of which have been discussed before ("Age of Innocence, Gangs of New York", and "Do the Right Thing") and some that have received lesser consideration ("Six Degrees of Separation, Smoke, Smoke" "Signals, Broken Flowers", and various Snow White narratives including "Enchanted, Mirror Mirror, and Snow White and the Huntsman"). Useful for both film and literary studies students, Adaptation Theory and Criticism cogently combines the existing scholarship and uses previous theories to engage readers to think about the current state of American literature and film.
