Authorship in Film Adaptation

Acknowledgments

I want to recognize in particular my colleagues whose work appears in these pages. Their devotion to the task and sustained goodwill have made the completion of this book a challenging and pleasurable campaign. This also applies to editor Jim Burr and the fine staff at the University of Texas Press, and to scholars Arthur M. Eckstein, Martha Nochimson, and Kelly Hankin. I was further aided by two excellent graduate assistants, Harper Cossar, who has just completed his doctoral degree in film in our Moving Image Studies program at Georgia State University and Kristopher Cannon.
