Drawing on Daphne du Maurier's short story and contemporary
newspaper reports of bird attacks in California, Alfred Hitchcock's
The Birds (1963) featured Tippi Hedren in her first starring role.
Camille Paglia's compelling study considers the film's aesthetic,
technical and mythical qualities, and analyses its depiction of
gender and family relations. A film about anxiety, sexual power and
the violence of nature, it is quintessential Hitchcock. Camille
Paglia's foreword to this new edition reflects upon the
relationship between Hitchcock and his leading lady Hedren in the
light of recent debates about male power, female agency and the
#MeToo movement.
