About this product
Product Information
From The Lady Eve, to The Big Valley, Barbara Stanwyck played parts that showcased her multidimensional talents but also illustrated the limits imposed on women in film and television. Catherine Russell's A to Z consideration of the iconic actress analyzes twenty-six facets of Stanwyck and the America of her times. Russell examines Stanwyck's work onscreen against the backdrop of costuming and other aspects of filmmaking. But she also views the actress's off-screen performance within the Hollywood networks that made her an industry favorite and longtime cornerstone of the entertainment community. Russell's montage approach coalesces into an engrossing portrait of a singular artist whose intelligence and savvy placed her center-stage in the production of her films and in the debates around women, femininity, and motherhood that roiled mid-century America. Original and rich, The Cinema of Barbara Stanwyck is an essential and entertaining reexamination of an enduring Hollywood star.

Reviews
"Russell has positioned her concise, structurally adventurous contribution to 'Stanwyck studies' to reflect the expanding range of cultural approaches to women in media published during the past decade. . . . The twenty-six bite-sized essays cover themes of work, gender, sexuality, ageing, misogyny, class and race." -- Times Literary Supplement, "Catherine Russell's The Cinema of Barbara Stanwyck adds illuminating dimension to the actress's complex life story and equally vaunted career. Her meticulously researched and thoughtful analysis brings a fresh perspective to Stanwyck' s legacy, and captures the enduring power and charm of the classical Hollywood movie star." -- Cineaste, "A creative critical biography, The Cinema of Barbara Stanwyck belongs to a greater project of reexamining Hollywood and decentering the phallocentrism of film history." -- Australian Book Review, " The Cinema of Barbara Stanwyck makes the choice to refuse to simplify Stanwyck's career. It underscores Stanwyck's importance, but it doesn't pretend like she, the films, or the era that created them are something they're not. As a result, Russell has put together an unflinching work of criticism that must be acknowledged as the definitive work on the subject. It's essential reading for anyone interested in Stanwyck or the era of film she headlined." -- NewCity, "Catherine Russell's inventive study of Barbara Stanwyck's long, fascinating career as a 'working star' offers a tantalizing model for other feminist histories of women's work in the film industry. Achronological and essayistic, Russell's approach weaves back and forth between Stanwyck's onscreen roles, her star persona, and her working life to document what Russell calls 'the structural misogyny of the industry.'"--Shelley Stamp, author of Lois Weber in Early Hollywood and Movie-Struck Girls, "Catherine Russell's inventive study of Barbara Stanwyck's long, fascinating career as a 'working star' offers a tantalizing model for other feminist histories of women's work in the film industry. Achronological and essayistic, Russell's approach weaves back and forth between Stanwyck's onscreen roles, her star persona, and her working life to document what Russell calls 'the structural misogyny of the industry.'"--Shelley Stamp, author of Lois Weber in Early Hollywood and Movie-Struck Girls "A deeply creative and insightful critical study of Barbara Stanwyck's agency and labor as a performer, The Cinema of Barbara Stanwyck is a stunning blend of feminist historiography, archival research, star-studies, biography, and film analysis--a rewarding and immensely pleasurable read."--Julie Grossman, author of The Femme Fatale, "A deeply creative and insightful critical study of Barbara Stanwyck's agency and labor as a performer, The Cinema of Barbara Stanwyck is a stunning blend of feminist historiography, archival research, star-studies, biography, and film analysis--a rewarding and immensely pleasurable read."--Julie Grossman, author of The Femme Fatale
