Adaptation, Intermediality ...
Beginning with the premise that the biopic is a form of adaptation and an example of intermediality, this collection examines the multiplicity of ''source texts'' and the concurrent issues of celebrity, fidelity and authenticity that accompany this genre. Offering case studies of film biographies of literary icons, royals and other famous individuals, the essays explore issues of production and consumption, generic fluidity and hybridity, and the biopic''s myth-making and myth-breaking potential
