Brings novels and film a
Trade Review
“Robert Stam helps us better understand two of the most important art forms of our time – film and the novel. In so doing, he brings to light new sources for the distinctiveness of each. The general method guiding his particular analyses of movement from one medium to the other is itself a major contribution to translation theory.”
