Alphabetically arranged, the entries in this encyclopedic study
cover Woody Allen's movies, plays, fiction, television shows, and
stand-up comedy from 1964 through 1998. Film entries begin with
basic production information followed by a literary analysis of the
work, which considers how and why Allen develops new narrative
forms for conveying his stories. The dominant themes in Allen's
work and the literary and cultural traditions he draws upon are
discussed. Entries draw connections among Allen's works, outline
his relationships with specific cinematographers and actors, point
out major influences, and demonstrate how Allen fits into the
Western canon of literature, film, and philosophy. Collectively,
the entries reveal a serious and substantial artist whose
experimentation with narrative form and structure enables him to
explore human nature and human relationships in a new, innovative,
and insightful manner.
Literature and film scholars and Woody Allen enthusiasts will
appreciate the easily accessible information provided in this
encyclopedic format. A filmography and bibliography follow the
entries and offer suggestions for further research. An index is
included and photographs enhance the text.
