TY - JOUR TI - Melodrama and stage adaptation: a cultural matrix AU - Bleton, Paul TI - Melodrama and stage adaptation: a cultural matrix AB - Melodrama and stage adaptation: a cultural matrix French pop literature and the adaptations based on it have had to reckon with a cultural matrix that was put in place as early as the « age of the melodrama » (the early XIXth century), i.e. even before the advent of the roman-feuilleton.
