ReviewsAn erudite study that places adaptations of less-studied works (Tolstoy's The Forged Coupon and Dostoevsky's The Double and "The Meek One") alongside large-scale projects like the BBC's award-winning 2016 adaptation of War and Peace . Summing Up: Highly recommended. Graduate students, researchers, faculty., This volume is indispensable for scholars of adaptation and Russian literature.
