- Adaptations in the Sound Era: 1927-37 is the first book-length account of the accommodation to sound of mainstream film adaptations. The work involved research in the BFI over a 3-year period into press books, reviews and promotional materials, screening all of the major mainstream film adaptations produced in this decade, extensive reading into contemporary film and literary criticism and curating the responses to hearing literary works on screen for the first time. As a measure of its significance and weight, the book has been reviewed as ‘a milestone in adaptation studies’ (LFQ, 2016).
