- Includes diversity of topics and titles, such as Fielding, Nabokov, and Cervantes in adaptations by Welles, Kubrick, and the French New Wave
- Emphasizes both the literary texts themselves and their varied transtextual film adaptations
- Examines numerous literary trends – from the self-conscious novel to magic realism – before exploring the cinematic impact of the movement
- Reinvigorates the field of adaptation studies by examining it through the grid of contemporary theory
