- Double-weighted statement
- This is a substantial monograph (pp. 346; 140,000 words) which is based upon extensive archival research. It includes case studies of twelve of Hitchcock's films made between 1934 and 1969, documenting their production and reception contexts and analysing their mobilization of genre conventions. Each of the case studies (between 7,000 and 10,000 words) is equivalent to a journal article in its own right. The book's focus on Hitchcock as a director of genre films rather than solely as an auteur marks a significant new intervention in Hitchcock scholarship.
