PALGRAVE STUDIES IN ADAPTATION AND VISUAL CULTU...

This book engages with Margaret Atwood's work and its adaptations. Atwood has long been
appreciated for her ardent defence of Canadian authors and her genre-bending fiction  essays 
and poetry. However  a lesser-studied aspect of her work is Atwood's role both as adaptor and
as source for adaptation in media as varied as opera  television  film  or comic books. Recent
critically acclaimed television adaptations of the novels The Handmaid's Tale (Hulu) and Alias
Grace (Amazon) have rightfully focused attention on these works  but Atwood's fiction has long
been a source of inspiration for artists of various media  a seeming corollary to Atwood's own
tendency to explore the possibilities of previously undervalued media (graphic novels)  genres
(science-fiction)  and narratives (testimonial and historical modes). This collection hopes to
expand on other studies of Atwood's work or on their adaptations to focus on the interplay
between the two  providing an interdisciplinary approach that highlights the protean nature of
the author and of adaptation.
