Abstract

This chapter focuses on media adaptations from the late twentieth century to today, exploring how writers have responded to the ‘knowing audience’ with allusions to other media forms, or to the original novel, and have updated the story with intertextual references to issues in the news. For instance, modern versions of Collins’s two most adapted novels The Woman in White and The Moonstone have demonstrated the stories’ relevance to debates over gender identity, mental health, and decolonization in the twenty-first century.
