This took me forever to finish, but it's wonderful. Some items are adapted in total, some partially; some are from stand-alone adaptations, some are done specifically for this volume. Wonderful survey of literatures and introductions to some artists you might not already know. ( )

Volume 2 in a series of condensed or excerpted literary works, from Kubla Khan (1797) to The Picture of Dorian Gray (1890). All kinds of artistic styles and media are on display, including some exceptionally clever adaptations. There were a handful of samples I found dull or impossible to follow, and a number of others whose original works I hadn't heard of, but it was overall an entertaining trip through the long history of world literature. Volume three completes the chronological journey. ( )
