As the digital age transforms traditional practices students and lecturers face unprecedented challenges as eloquently discussed by Susan Bassnett and others like Judith Seaboyer and Tully Barnett. In this thought-provoking journey we invite the readers to discover the impact of changing reading habits and the allure of digital alternatives. In this collection of writings graduate undergraduate and Ph.D. students of the English Language and Literature Department of Istanbul Yeni Yüzyl University contribute to this discourse as their assignments evolve into compelling book chapters. We thus hope that these selected student essays bridge the gap between traditional and modern literary texts fostering a coexistence that enriches academic discourse in adaptation studies and English language and literature.
