Some film and novel revisions go so far beyond adaptation that they demand a new designation. This critical collection explores movies, plays, essays, comics and video games that supersede adaptation to radically transform their original sources. Fifteen essays investigate a variety of texts that rework everything from literary classics to popular children's books, demonstrating how these new, stand-alone creations critically engage their sources and contexts. Particular attention is paid to parody, intertextuality, and fairy-tale transformations in the examination of these works, which occupy a unique narrative and creative space.

Phyllis Frus is an associate professor of English and chair of the English department at Hawai‘i Pacific University. Christy Williams is an instructor of English at Hawai‘i Pacific University and a doctoral candidate at the University of Hawai‘i. She lives in Honolulu.
