Reviews

“Adaptation Before Cinema is most certainly a welcome introduction to this possibility for the un-siloing of humanities into intellectual common spaces, and it helpfully points towards some opportunities presented by this possibility. … the book fulfils admirably the generic promise of the best essay collections, offering a glimpse at a wide range of perspectives, whose heterogeneity remains the primary attraction.” (Joe Kember, Adaptation, September 7, 2023)
