Examining the authorial and cross-media practices of the English novelist Elinor Glyn (1864-1943), Vincent L. Barnett and Alexis Weedon trace Glyn's work as a novelist in the United Kingdom, her success in Hollywood as an adaptor. '... offers rich new examples and perspectives for Adaptation Studies in particular ... The case study of Glyn also presents a wealth of original material for understanding the networks of stardom that developed in this period ... fertile ground for fresh considerations of Glyn's career and deeper exploration of women and film history in the early and interwar periods. Scholars can build on the key connections that the volume establishes through Barnett and Weedon's meticulous archival and business research. The book offers valuable groundwork upon which new histories and case studies can be written, illuminating the varied roles that women played within early film culture.' Women's History Review
