What is it about?
Harley Erdman and Susan Paun de García approach the topic of adaptation in both a textual and performance form. In their edited volume, scholarly work as well as performance as research are well represented in 26 essays by Comedia scholars, translators and theatre practitioners. This book is divided holistically in four parts, ‘Theorizing’, ‘Surveying’, ‘Spotlighting’, and ‘Shifting’.
