N2  - Asking why adaptation has been seen as more problematic to theorise than other humanities subjects, and why it has been more theoretically problematic in the humanities than in the sciences and social sciences, Theorizing Adaptation seeks to both explicate and redress "the problem of theorising adaptation" through a metacritical history of theorising adaptation from the late sixteenth century to the present, a metatheoretical theory of the relationship between theorisation and adaptation in the humanities, and analysis of and experimentation with the rhetoric of theorising adaptation. Adaptation was not always the bad theoretical object that it increasingly became from the late eighteenth century: in earlier centuries, adaptation was celebrated and valued as a means of aesthetic and cultural progress.
