Reviews

In the face of the predominantly Anglocentric studies of film adaptations of literature, Film as World Literature lives up to its title by delivering an exciting collection of eminently ‘worldly’ essays. The volume is especially valuable as it charts a conversation on the margins of major industries, countries, and topics. Not only does it show what became world-wide currents such as neo-realism, but it also explores cinema and media on the margins, ranging from mainstream commercial cinema (James Bond) to questions of evolving media technologies (the internationalization of screen culture through streaming apps). * Robert Stam, University Professor, New York University, USA * Film as World Literature breaks new ground in literary, film, and cultural studies. Blending rich theoretical insights with diverse case studies, this volume examines adaptation, genre, and transmedia storytelling, and would be an essential resource for scholars and students. * Rini Bhattacharya Mehta, Associate Professor of Comparative and World Literature, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA *
