200 years of Anthony Trollope This volume is a cross-disciplinary collection of essays in the fields of nineteenth-century history, adaptation, word/image and Victorianism. Featuring new writing by some of the most influential, respected and radical scholars in these fields, Transforming Anthony Trollope constitutes both a close companion to Simon Grennan's 2015 graphic novel Dispossession - an adaptation of Anthony Trollope's 1879 novel John Caldigate - and a forward-looking, stand-alone addition to current debates on the cultural uses of history and the theorisation of remediation, illustration and narrative drawing.

This publication is GPRC-labeled (Guaranteed Peer-Reviewed Content).

This compelling volume will engage readers from a range of disciplinary fields, particularly nineteenth-century literary studies, adaptation studies, and theories of the graphic novel and comics.Michelle Keown, Review 19, April 2018

* Review 19 *

'Transforming Anthony Trollope' is an intellectually stimulating book of essays that deals with very diverse topics. This diversity is a potential weakness, because of a lack of thematic focus. But this is compensated by the richness of what the editors have collected. The collection shows that research on the crossroads of cultural historical mentalities studies and visual culture studies can be very fruitful.Olivier Rieter, Barbarus, April 10, 2019
