This Companion aims to paint a picture of literature on screen in a variety of ramifications and is divided into four sections: theories of literature on screen; the history and contexts of literature on screen; genre, industry and taste; and beyond the literary (sound, vision and hybridity).

This Companion aims to paint a picture of literature on screen in a variety of ramifications and is divided into four sections: theories of literature on screen; the history and contexts of literature on screen; genre, industry and taste; and beyond the literary (sound, vision and hybridity). The book aims to address the different approaches and the range of topics invited by the multi-dimensionality of the discipline itself. Unlike other books in this field, The Cambridge Companion to Literature on Screen brings the diverse areas of the subject together by including both novels and plays on screen, film and television, canonical and popular literature, animation, the effects of soundtracks and the phenomenon of the 'novelisation' which reverses the book to film trajectory. Topics discussed include Shakespeare on screen, the Gospels on screen, adaptations of nineteenth-century, modernist and post-modernist writings and genre - the women's film, fantasy and children's adaptations.
Deborah Cartmell is Principal Lecturer, Subject Leader of English and Head of the Graduate School at De Montfort University, Leicester. Imelda Whelehan is Professor in English and Women's Studies and Faculty Head of Research at De Montfort University, Leicester.
