Beschreibung:
A lively discussion of costume dramas to women's films, Shelley Cobb investigates the practice of adaptation in contemporary films made by women. The figure of the woman author comes to the fore as a key site for the representation of women's agency and the authority of the woman filmmaker.
Aims to provide a model for feminist analysis of film adaptation, bringing together two critical disciplines previously studied separately (adaptation theory and feminist theory)
