Book Description:
|
In six essays, Davidson (literature, U. of South Carolina-Aiken) tracks the evolving presentation and understanding of stories and themes in different media and different periods of time, and follows where a particular idea, image, or sequence of events leads. Among her topics are suppressed racial violence from The Defiant Ones to The Green Man, the legacy of Griffith's The Birth of a Nation, and fathers and anti-feminism in three 1999 films. The text is double spaced. c. Book News Inc.
