In this anthology, Kevin Flanagan has compiled essays that simultaneously place Russell's films within various academic contexts-gender studies, Victorian studies, and cultural criticism-on the one hand and expand the foundational history of Russell's career on the other. \u003ci\u003eKen Russell: Re-Viewing England's Last Mannerist\u003c\/i\u003e recontextualizes the director's work in light of new approaches to film studies and corrects or amends previous scholarship. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis collection tackles Russell's mainstream successes (\u003ci\u003eTommy\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eAltered States\u003c\/i\u003e) and his seldom-seen masterpieces (\u003ci\u003eThe Debussy Film\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMahler\u003c\/i\u003e), as well as his critical flops (\u003ci\u003eSalome's Last Dance\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLady Chatterley's Lover\u003c\/i\u003e). The book also includes information on Russell's most obscure television films, insights on his controversial films of the 1970s, and a new consideration of Russell's career in light of his recent return to amateur filmmaking. Representing a significant collaboration among scholars, \u003ci\u003eKen Russell: Re-Viewing England's Last Mannerist\u003c\/i\u003e reflects a newly revived interest in the work of this important filmmaker.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kevin M.
