This critical collection explores movies, plays, essays, comics and video games that supersede adaptation to radically transform their original sources. Fifteen essays investigate a variety of texts that rework everything from literary classics to popular children's books, demonstrating how these new, stand-alone creations critically engage their sources and contexts. Particular attention is paid to parody, intertextuality, and fairy-tale transformations in the examination of these works, which occupy a unique narrative and creative space.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePhyllis Frus\u003c\/b\u003e is an associate professor of English and chair of the English department at Hawai'i Pacific University. \u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eChristy Williams\u003c\/b\u003e is an instructor of English at Hawai'i Pacific University and a doctoral candidate at the University of Hawai'i.
