      title = {Television series as literature /},
      abstract = {This book explores how television series can be understood  as a form of literature, bridging the gap between literary  and television studies. It goes beyond existing adaptation  studies and narratological approaches to television series  in both its scope and depth. The respective chapters  address literary works, themes, tropes, techniques, values,  genres, and movements in relation to a broad variety of  television series, while drawing on the theoretical work of  a host of scholars from Simone de Beauvoir and Yuri Lotman  to Ted Nannicelli and Jason Mittel, and on critical  approaches ranging from narratology and semiotics to  empirical sociology and phenomenology. The book fosters new  ways of understanding television series and literature and  lays the groundwork for future scholarship in a number of  fields. By questioning the alleged divide between  television series and works of literature, it contributes  not only to a better understanding of television series and  literary texts themselves, but also to the development of  interdisciplinary scholarship in the humanities. Reto  Winckler is an Associate Research Fellow at South China  Normal University, Guangzhou, China. His research revolves  around Shakespeares plays and their multi-medial  afterlives, concentrating on issues of madness and folly,  ordinary language philosophy, and the adaptation of  Shakespeare in contemporary television series and digital  media. His articles have been published in Shakespeare,  Adaptation, Cahiers E lisabe thains, and elsewhere. Victor  Huertas-Martin is an Assistant Lecturer at the Facultat de  Filologia, Traduccio i Comunicacio of the Universitat de  Valencia, Spain. Besides the hybridity of theatrical and  filmic languages in TV Shakespeares, his research focuses  on Serial Shakespeares, as well as space in Shakespearean  performance. His work has been published in Atlantis,  Shakespeare Bulletin, Sederi Yearbook, Cahiers  Elisabethains, and Literature/Film Quarterly, amongst  others.},
