Description
A Theory of Adaptation by Linda Hutcheon and Siobhan O'Flynn explores how creative adaptation is central to storytelling. The authors examine various media, including film, opera, video games, music, and theme parks, to understand the breadth and scope of adaptive practices. This new edition includes a preface from Linda Hutcheon, discussing recent developments in the study of adaptation, as well as an epilogue by Siobhan O'Flynn, which explores digital media and its impact on adaptation. The book provides insight into transmedia practices, fan-based adaptations, and the evolution of game narratives across platforms. For those interested in understanding adaptation within literary and media studies, this book offers a comprehensive guide to the field, shedding light on its ever-evolving nature.
