Literature and Film, 1st Edition

“Stam and Raengo’s Literature and Film offers a wonderful collection of approaches to the multifaceted and sometimes contradictory relationship between the written word and the filmic image, bringing into the discussion a refreshing series of examples drawn from international and minority cinemas.”

Richard Pea, Columbia University
