This book examines how the iconic character Hannibal Lecter has
been revised and redeveloped across different screen media texts.
Hannibal "The Cannibal" Lecter has become one of Western culture's
most influential and enduring models of monstrosity since his
emergence in 1981 in Red Dragon, Thomas Harris' first Lecter book.
Lecter is now at the centre of an extensive cross-mediated
mythology, the most recent incarnation of which is Bryan Fuller's
television program, Hannibal (NBC, 2013-2015). This acclaimed
series is the focus of Hannibal Lecter's Forms, Formulations, and
Transformations, which examines how Fuller's program harnesses the
iconic character to experiment with traditional boundaries of
genre, medium, taste, and narrative form. Featuring chapters from
established and emerging screen and popular culture scholars from
around the world, the book outlines how the show operates as a
striking experiment with televisual form and formula. The book also
explores how this experimentation is embodied by the
boundary-defying character, the savage cannibalistic serial killer,
practicing psychiatrist, and cultured art enthusiast, Hannibal
Lecter. The chapters in this book were originally published as a
special issue of the journal, Quarterly Review of Film and Video.
