- Double-weighted statement
- Mainstream Maverick is the first scholarly book to explore the work of writer-director-producer John Hughes. It offers original insights into how authorship and genre were utilised by Hughes. It meets the criteria for double-weighting in that it collects and analyses a large body of material, including trade publications, newspapers, magazines, and ephemera, as well as Hughes’s films and their paratexts; it is an extended piece of research and multi-layered process of creative investigation that offers sustained analysis of both Hughes’s career and films, but also reflects on the priorities of the American film industry in the 1980s and 1990s.
