It demonstrates that this field of intellectual inquiry, as it has developed over the last 15 years, encompasses the highbrow and the low; first and third world subject matter; issues of audience as well as authorship; and a commitment to interdisciplinarity. This collection will be useful for all kinds of readers: scholars, undergraduates, and all those who take seriously the pleasures provided by movies and novels.”\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eEric Smoodin, University of California at Davis\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e“To anyone believing the discussion of novel-into-film had been exhausted a generation ago, \u003ci\u003eA Companion to Literature and Film\u003c\/i\u003e will come as a welcome surprise.
