Woody Allen : A Casebook (Casebooks on Modern Dramatists, Volume 27)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Woody Allen, who first became famous as a stand up comedian and a writer of comedy routines, has also had a distinguished career as a playwright and screenwriter/director. Allen owes his celebrity status primarily to his critically acclaimed films, such as Manhattan, Hannah and her Sisters, and Crimes and Misdemeanors. In Woody Allen: A Casebook, editor Kimball King, who is also General Editor of the Casebook Series, has selected major plays and films by Woody Allen and has chosen well-known scholars to examine their complexities in detail. Allen's sophisticated movie musical scores as well as his thoughtful studies of American character and life are analyzed by contemporary critics, such as William Hutchings, Tom Sahy, and King himself. The result is a volume that surveys artistic highpoints of the Allen canon and illustrates the creative impact of Allen's works on audiences and readers.
