The book represents one of the seminal academic works for understanding the legendary director’s early output, as well as the historical and institutional context of British cinema. Rather than adopting a conventional biographical approach, the author analyses Hitchcock’s oeuvre through the lens of British film culture and industry during the interwar period. Particular emphasis is placed on the 1930s and the development of the distinctive thriller genre, including a detailed analysis of his renowned group of films known as ‘The Classic Thriller Sextet’. This copy is the second, expanded 1996 edition, whilst the original work was first published in 1986. This specific edition features a new, comprehensive introduction by the author, reflecting on a decade of fresh critical theories and research since the book’s initial release, and includes an updated supplementary bibliography. The volume is equipped with a detailed table of contents, a filmography, a select bibliography, and an index.
