Reviews
“Impeccably researched and rigorously argued, Weedon’s book offers a precise historical study of a period and culture when adaptation practices and transmedia storytelling were just beginning to take shape as a fascinating anticipation of the twenty-first century.” (Timothy Corrigan, Professor Emeritus of English, Cinema Studies, and History of Art, University of Pennsylvania, USA)
“Within The Origins of Transmedia Storytelling in Early Twentieth Century Adaptation, Alexis Weedon provides an evocative analysis of the engagement with transmedia practices of multiple authors, calling on a variety of perspectives to depict the multiple dimensions in which these authors lived, thrived and survived. The Origins of Transmedia Storytelling in Early Twentieth Century Adaptation provides both a depiction of the economic, social and creative existences of the authors selected by Weedon and an examination of the concept of their transmedia existences. Weedon successfully argues that transmediality has been an ongoing concern for a long period of time – but the concerns raised for the authors examined within the text have not gone away have only evolved in our current era of social media and information provision.” (James Lewis Shelton in Early Popular Visual Culture March 2022)
