First sentence: Although the study of literary adaptations on film and TV is becoming more common and indeed more 'acceptable' as a feature of English and/or Media Studies in higher education, it is still surrounded by knee-jerk prejudice about the skills such study affords, its impact on the value and place of the literary 'original' and the kind of critical approach it demands.
