Promotional Information

* It is the first sustained scholarly work on screen adaptations of Dona Barbara. * This study suggests a new way of studying film adaptations by paying consistently attention to how these adaptations have been received by audiences: in fact, the monograph is the first work to combine screen adaptation theories with the more recent approaches of fandom studies. * By focussing on Spanish-language case studies and fan communities, Dona Barbara Unleashed makes an important contribution to fandom studies scholarship, which is predominantly Anglophone.
