BOOKS: Adaptation

	"A Theory of Adaptation" by Linda Hutcheon - "A Theory of Adaptation" theorizes how adaptation works across all media and genres in a way that attempts at last to put an end to the age-old question of whether the book was better than the movie, or the opera, or the theme park.

	"Adaptations: From Text to Screen, Screen to Text" by D. Cartmell - What happens when Jane Austen's "Emma" becomes the big screen's "Clueless"? How does "Batman" the comic book translate into a cartoon, television show, and film? With contributions from some of the finest film scholars in the world, "Adaptations" looks at what happens to popular texts when they are transformed into an entirely different medium, including novel and comic book to screen and an innovative look at screen to novel.

	"Film Adaptation" by James Naremore - The essays in this volume, most of which have never before been published, raise fundamental questions about cinema and adaptation: what is the nature of the "literary" and the "cinematic"? Why do so many of the films described as adaptions seem to derive from canonical literature rather than from other sources? How do the different media affect the ways stories are told?

	"How to Adapt Anything into a Screenplay" by Richard Krevolin - Now, a new book written by screenplay expert Richard W. Krevolin and published by Wiley and Sons in New York provides the definitive guide to writing screenplays based upon material adapted from other sources.

	"Literature and Film" by Robert Stam & Alessandra Raengo - "Literature and Film" is a cornucopia of vibrant essays that chart the history and confluence of literature and film. It explores in detail a wide and international spectrum of novels and adaptations, bringing together the very latest scholarship in the field.

	"The Art of Adaptation: Turning Fact and Fiction into Film" by Linda Seger - A comprehensive handbook for screenwriters, producers, and directors who want to successfully transform factual or fictional material into film. Seger tells how to analyze source material to understand why some of it resists adapting. She then gives practical methods for translating story, characters, themes, and style into film. A final section details essential information on how to option material and how to protect one's self legally.
