Comments on Adaptation

"On the evidence of the first volume, it seems that the editors have more than fulfilled their aims."

"...Adaptation has established a valuable outlet for work by new and established scholars, proving beyond all doubt that adaptation studies is here to stay. I look forward to further volumes."
Laurence Raw, Literature/Film Quarterly


"The new journal, Adaptation, and the new Association of Adaptation Studies are most welcome developments in an area that has been for so long under-represented in academic circles. As a practitioner, I find it rather thrilling to be the object of scholarly investigation!"
Andrew Davies
