Description: This session features lightning talks on the intersections between adaptation studies (primarily focused on film) and pre-1900 literature and culture. Panelists show how literary and historical adaptation in contemporary popular culture is rooted in cultural, aesthetic, and professional practices that predate cinema and use adaptation to explore ways to build scholarly conversations that cross traditional periodization and national boundaries.
