Bringing together seventeen original essays by scholars from around
the world, Screwball Television offers a variety of international
perspectives on Gilmore Girls. Adored by fans and celebrated by
critics for its sophisticated wordplay and compelling portrayal of
a mother-daughter relationship, this contemporary American TV
program finally gets its due as a cultural production unlike any
other, one that is beholden to Hollywood’s screwball comedies of
the 1930s, steeped in intertextual references, and framed as a
""kinder, gentler kind of cult television series"" in this tightly
focused yet wide-ranging collection. This volume makes a
significant contribution to television studies, genre studies, and
women’s studies. Screwball Television seeks to bring Gilmore
Girls more fully into academic discourse not only as a topic worthy
of critical scrutiny but also as an infinitely rewarding text
capable of stimulating the imagination of students beyond the
classroom.
