Their approach will be methodologically broad, balancing theoretical and historical discussion with close readings of representative ﬁlms. Each volume will provide a comprehensive account of its genre, from enduring classics to contemporary revisions, from marginal appropriations to international inﬂections, emphasizing its distinctive qualities as well as its cultural, historical, and critical contexts.

GENRES IN AMERICAN CINEMA General Editor Barry Keith Grant, Brock University, Ontario, Canada Genres in American Cinema examines the signiﬁcance of American ﬁlms in a series of single-authored volumes, each dedicated to a different genre. A contributing editor of Literature/Film Quarterly, he is the author of What Stories Are: Narrative Theory and Interpretation and The Encyclopedia of Alfred Hitchcock. Thomas Leitch is Professor of English and Director of Film Studies at the University of Delaware. This blurring, Leitch maintains, reﬂects and fosters a deep social ambivalence toward crime and criminals, while the criminal, victim, and avenger characters effectively map the shifting relations between subgenres, such as the erotic thriller and the police ﬁlm, within the larger genre of crime ﬁlm that informs them all. Analyzing how each of the subgenres establishes oppositions among its ritual antagonists, he shows how the distinctions among them become blurred throughout the course of the century. Focusing on ten ﬁlms that span the range of the twentieth century, from Fury (1936) to Fargo (1996), Thomas Leitch traces the transformation of the three leading ﬁgures that are common to all crime ﬁlms: the criminal, the victim, and the avenger. CRIME FILMS This book surveys the entire range of crime ﬁlms, including important subgenres such as the gangster ﬁlm, the private-eye ﬁlm, film noir, as well as the victim ﬁlm, the erotic thriller, and the crime comedy.
