A Hitchcock Reader grew out of the editors' need for a comprehensive and critical text devoted to the director's films. Yet this book also offers readers an updated anthology representing the rich variety of critical responses that Hitchcock's films have evoked over the years.This new edition of A Hitchcock Reader aims to preserve what has been so satisfying--and successful--in the first edition. The new volume provides several new essays, a general introduction to the volume, added visuals, and a new comprehensive bibliography.
