JAMES WHALE: A New World of Gods and Monsters James Curtis University of Minnesota Press | 480 pages | 64 halftones | 2003 ISBN 0-8166-4386-5 | paperback | $19.95 James Whale directed some of the most stylish movies of the 1930s, and created a new type of horror film, most famously in Frankenstein. James Curtis has written the definitive life of James Whale, taking him from rural England to a German prison camp, to London¹s West End, and ultimately to Hollywood, where he profoundly influenced several generations of filmmakers. ³It is immaculately researched, smoothly written, honest without being lascivious, a model of its kind.² ‹Scott Eyman, Boston Book Review ³Curtis has not only produced the standard work on Whale, but also a long-overdue revaluation of a major director.² ‹Sight and Sound For more information, including James Whale¹s filmography, visit the book's webpage: http://www.upress.umn.edu/Books/C/curtis_james.html Sign up to receive news on the latest releases from University of Minnesota Press: http://www.upress.umn.edu/eform.html ---- For past messages, visit the Screen-L Archives: http://bama.ua.edu/archives/screen-l.html
