That is to say, almost all adaptation-studies texts are books about the methods and techniques (the theories, if you will) of adaptation and contain few, if any, actual analyses of fiction or drama into film. This casebook describes the methods and techniques of adaptation at the same time as it provides numerous examples of such analysis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJames R.
