Lucia Krämer is Professor for British Culture and Media at Passau University, Germany. Her research is largely prompted by an interest in productive reception. Starting out as a specialist on Oscar Wilde, her current focus of research is on Bollywood and the theory and practice of adaptation.
In examining a wide range of interrelated yet distinct issues that pertain to Bollywood that are growing increasingly pertinent to the theorization of this cinematic form in the twenty-first century, Bollywood in Britain is a significant contribution to the burgeoning field of Bollywood studies and, more broadly, to the study of non-Western and transnational cinemas and their subsequent receptions.
