Critical Insights: Alfred Hitchcock (Salem Press)
Why yet another essay collection on Hitchcock? First, and most obviously, Hitchcock is the type of genius about whom not enough can ever be written or even said. His body of work is so extensive, his quality so consistent, his themes so pervasive, and his style so innovative, that energetic and insightful discourse on his oeuvre can never be exhausted. Additionally, as times, borders, politics, technologies, and attitudes change, so, too, do our readings and understandings of Hitchcock and his films. In an increasingly postmodern world, we can recognize Hitchcock’s imprint everywhere, from movies to streaming television, from fiction to documentary, from literature to academia, from fashion to art, and even down to the very essential ideas about how our world and the people in this world think and operate. As a cursory glance through this book will show, Critical Insights: Hitchcock is intended to contribute to the ongoing discourse about the Master of Suspense, his body of work, and his larger influence on world culture. Contributors have been selected from across a generous array of experiences and disciplines, from online bloggers to home video enthusiasts to the highest levels of academia and Hitchcock scholarship. The resulting volume thus offers a wide range of essays, each of them intended for readers at the high school and/or undergraduate student level.
