First line

The interdisciplinary study of novels and films has tended to run along two sides of a paradox.

From the rear cover

A Companion to Literature and Film provides state-of-the-art research on world literature, film, and the complex theoretical relationship between them. Twenty-five essays by international experts cover the most important topics in the study of literature and film adaptations.

Contributors explore, in a highly innovative and groundbreaking way, important topics in the field. These include:

Key issues such as dialogism, hidden intertextuality, and adaptation as readings, critiques, and rewritings of source novels
Cultural concerns including iconophobia and the word/image wars
Theoretical issues such as "transcriture" and "intermediality"
Genre topics including "hagiopic" and the apocalyptic film
The relationship with other media, including photography and painting
Consideration of format, including seriality, and diverse source material
Thematic subjects such as hetero-masculinity in The Talented Mr Ripley and libertinage in the work of Eric Rohmer.

The combination of theory and sophisticated readings of novels and adaptations adds up to a tour de force that reshapes and reconfigures the very field of literature and film studies.
