Purpose and Community of the Adaptations Wiki
The Adaptations Wiki is led by Lissette Lopez Szwydky, who is an Assistant Professor of English at the University of Arkansas. The main contributors to this site are students enrolled in Dr. Szwydky's "Gothic Adaptations" course. However, we welcome submissions and contributions from students and scholars at other educational institutions, or anyone interested in the impact that the practice of adaptation has on literary history and culture.
The Adaptations Wiki site explores the cultural history of adaptations and its relationship to literary history. By "adaptation," we mean any type of retelling of a an original work. The original works on which we currently focus are Gothic literary narratives written around the 19th century, such as Frankenstein (1818). Our site offers various forms of information, including synopses of original literary works, a comprehensive list of adaptations for each work, detailed entries on certain adaptations, and entries on scholarly texts either primarily focused upon or applying aspects of adaptation theory.
Please Note:
While the purpose of this site is to offer users the opportunity to publish and share information about not only the general topic of adaptations but also the specific scholarly topics of adaptation theory and adaptation studies, we do not intend to be considered a source of scholarly research and should not be cited as such in other texts.
