IRONY IN FILM
PALGRAVE CLOSE READINGS IN FILM AND TELEVISION
Palgrave Close Readings in Film and Television Series Editors John Gibbs Head of Department Department of Film, Theatre & Television University of Reading, UK Douglas Pye Senior Visiting Fellow Department of Film, Theatre & Television University of Reading, UK
Palgrave Close Readings in Film and Television is an innovative new series of research monographs dedicated to extending the methods and subjects of detailed criticism. Monographs in the series written from a variety of standpoints and dealing with diverse topics are unified by attentiveness to the material decisions made by filmmakers and a commitment to develop analysis and reflection from this foundation. The series is based in the belief that, while a scrupulous attention to the texture of film and television programmes requires the focus of concept and theory, the discoveries that such attention produces become vital in questioning and reformulating theory and concept. Each monograph will be committed to the appreciation of new areas and topics in the field, but also to strengthening and developing the conceptual basis and the methodologies of critical analysis itself.
