Literature, Film, and Their Hideous Progeny: Adaptation and Elastextity

by Julie Grossman

Book Overview

This book posits adaptations as 'hideous progeny, ' Mary Shelley's term for her novel, Frankenstein . Like Shelley's novel and her fictional Creature, adaptations that may first be seen as monstrous in fact compel us to shift our perspective on known literary or film works and the cultures that gave rise to them.
