Description
Since its earliest incarnation in the writing of James Barrie, the story of Peter Pan has been continuously adapted. Barrie himself adapted the story numerous times, across a plethora of different media. He was also the first to draft a film Scenario of it. However, Barrie’s Scenario was not used for the first film adaptation of Peter Pan in 1924. This study argues that Peter’s unique qualities serve as both the engine of adaptation and the source of each adaptation’s provisional nature. The analysis moves from historical texts to include Barrie’s film Scenario and then major twentieth and twenty-first century screen adaptations of Peter Pan.
