Crossover Fiction: Global and Historical Perspectives

by Sandra L. Beckett

In Crossover Fiction, Sandra L. Beckett explores the global trend of crossover literature and explains how it is transforming literary canons, concepts of readership, the status of authors, the publishing industry, and bookselling practices. This study will have significant relevance across disciplines, as scholars in literary studies, media and cultural studies, visual arts, education, psychology, and sociology examine the increasingly blurred borderlines between adults and young people in contemporary society, notably with regard to their consumption of popular culture.

[Annabel]

Although this book seems to hold a lot of information, it sadly gave me no new insight into crossover fiction at all. It reminded me very much of Rachel Falconer's book, 'The Crossover Novel' - the content was so similar, and unfortunately I enjoyed neither and I was not impressed with the critical content.

S jedne strane, vrlo informativna knjiga, ali sa druge, malo se gubi u nabrajanju pojedinačnih primera i mestimično ponavlja... neka znatno kraća, preglednija verzija sa jasnije izvedenijim zaključcima bila bi mi draža.
