<p><i>A Companion to Alfred Hitchcock</i> is the most ambitious and comprehensive volume ever published on the Master of Suspense, considering the full range of his career—from his earliest contributions to other directors' silent films to his own uncompleted last effort.<br /> <br /> Thirty chapters by the world's leading Hitchcock experts cover well-established approaches and cutting-edge scholarship, and tackle the most puzzling and complex problems in Hitchcock's films and contemporary film studies.  Placing Hitchcock and his works in their cultural and intellectual contexts, contributors to the volume explore the genres with which his work is most closely associated; his relationships with his performers and other leading collaborators; the verbal and visual style of his films; Hitchcock’s rise to prominence as the quintessential Hollywood auteur; the ideological and ethical implications of his films; and the enduring legacy he left to filmmakers and audiences alike.</p>
<p>"A great resource for students of Hitchcock's films, craft, thought, influences, and aesthetics. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Lower-and upper-division undergraduates, graduate students, researchers, faculty." - <i>Choice</i></p> <p>“In my view this book is the most exciting work on Hitchcock and one which will become a prime source for Hitchcockian scholars.” – <i>Reference Reviews</i></p> <p>“This impressive anthology proves that there are plenty of new things to say about Hitchcock. A wide ranging and consistently intelligent compendium, it features essays on virtually every aspect of the great director's work by an array of his most astute commentators.” - <i>James Naremore, Indiana University</i></p>
