James Bond - A Study of Adaptation

Back in 2015, I did a series on my other blog where I wrote reviews of the James Bond films, looking at how a long-running franchise can develop over time.

One of my first year modules has been looking at the practice of adaptation, and it's been on my mind since then. This included looking at adaptations of classical mythology and fairy tales, but I feel the urge to apply what I've learned to other things too.

So, based on the James Bond marathon, I've decided to look at the original Ian Fleming books. These are not going to be reviews, but rather a comparison of the source texts with the film adaptations. I'll post the reviews when I finish each book. At the time of writing, I've finished Casino Royale and am currently reading Live and Let Die. I'll have the Casino Royale piece online later today.
