Indiana University Press is pleased to announce the recent publication of:

Jane Campion
Authorship and Personal Cinema
Alistair Fox

"Alistair Fox offers an impressively rich and thoroughly documented reading
of Jane Campion's films. . . . [He] persuasively interprets them as working
through the traumas of the artist's life. . . . Fox succeeds in
resuscitating the biological author, giving us Jane Campion without the
qualification of quotation marks around her name." ‹Barry Keith Grant, Brock
University

Fox explores the dynamics of the creative process involved in cinematic
representation in the films of Jane Campion, one of the most highly regarded
of contemporary filmmakers. Utilizing a wealth of new material‹including
interviews with Campion and her sister and personal writings of her
mother‹Fox traces the connections between the filmmaker¹s complex background
and the thematic preoccupations of her films, from her earliest short, Peel,
to 2009¹s Bright Star. He establishes how Campion¹s deep investment in
family relationships informs her aesthetic strategies, revealed in
everything from the handling of shots and lighting, to the complex system of
symbolic images repeated from one film to the next.
