Aims & Scope

Adaptation, or the conversion of oral, historical or fictional narratives into stage drama has been common practice for centuries. In our own time the processes of cross-generic transformation continue to be extremely important in theatre as well as in the film and other media industries. This double-blind peer-reviewed journal explores how adaptation, and the related areas of translation and intertextuality, continues to have a central place in our culture with a profound resonance across our civilisation.

This title is indexed with the Web of Science’s Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI).
