After 45 years, Steven Spielberg’s Jaws remains the definitive
summer blockbuster, a cultural phenomenon with a fierce and
dedicated fan base. The Jaws Book: New Perspectives on the Classic
Summer Blockbuster is an exciting illustrated collection of new
critical essays that offers the first detailed and comprehensive
overview of the film’s significant place in cinema history.
Bringing together established and young scholars, the book includes
contributions from leading international writers on popular cinema
including Murray Pomerance, Peter Krämer, Sheldon Hall, Nigel
Morris and Linda Ruth Williams, and covers such diverse topics as
the film’s release, reception and canonicity; its representation
of masculinity and children; the use of landscape and the ocean;
its status as a western; sequels and fan-edits; and its galvanizing
impact on the horror film, action movie and contemporary Hollywood
itself.
