Sommario/riassunto

Filming Forster focuses upon the challenges filmmakers confronted in producing film adaptations of E. M. Forster's fiction. Working on the principle of an interactive relationship between two equally valuable modes of storytelling, this book maintains that the film adaptation and adapted text shape the meaning of each other in a continuing process of mutual illumination.
