"Unlike most books on film adaptation - which often focus on a series of close one-to-one
comparisons between specific films and canonical novels - this volume identifies and
investigates a far wider array of problems posed by the process of moving from text
to screen." "Beginning with an examination of why adaptation study has so often supported
the institution of literature rather than fostering the practice of literacy, Thomas
Leitch considers how the creators of short silent films attempted to give them the
weight of literature, what sorts of fidelity are possible in an adaptation of sacred
scripture, what it means for an adaptation to pose as an introduction to, rather than
a transcription of, a literary classic, and why and how some films have sought impossibly
close fidelity to their sources."--Jacket
