Description
Television and Serial Adaptation by Shannon Wells-Lassagne explores a key aspect of television's development that has been relatively overlooked. The practice of adapting pre-existing narratives is common in both film and television, yet it remains under-examined. This text examines various television series, including M*A*S*H, Game of Thrones, Pride and Prejudice, and Castle, to shed light on the similarities and differences between their approaches to adaptation. By analysing these examples, Wells-Lassagne aims to provide a more comprehensive understanding of this practice in television. Through its close readings of these series, Television and Serial Adaptation offers insights into the ways in which television has developed its own unique narrative strategies, often distinct from those found in film.
