{"product_id":"rebecca-patricia-white-9781911239437","title":"Rebecca","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 1940 film adaptation of Daphne du Maurier's gothic romance \u003ci\u003eRebecca \u003c\/i\u003ebegins by echoing the novel's famous opening line, 'Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again.' Patricia White takes the theme of return as her starting point for an exploration of the film's enduring power. Drawing on archival research, she shows how the production and reception history of \u003ci\u003eRebecca\u003c\/i\u003e, the first fruit of the collaboration between Hollywood movie producer David O. Selznick and British director Alfred Hitchcock, is marked by the traces of women's contributions. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhite provides a rich analysis of the film, addressing the gap between perception and reality that is constantly in play in the gothic romance, and highlighting the queer erotics circulating around 'I' (the heroine), Mrs Danvers, and the dead but ever-present Rebecca. Her discussion of the film's afterlives emphasizes the lasting aesthetic impact of this dark masterpiece of memory and desire, while her attention to its remakes and sequels speaks to the ongoing relevance of its vision of gender and power.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patricia White\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1911239430\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781911239437\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e British Film Institute\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/06\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.50h x 5.40w x 0.30d","brand":"Patricia White","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45065064677631,"sku":"9781911239437","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0d6a4b64-8e78-4d02-b55b-053a8bdbe584.jpg?v=1712125489","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rebecca-patricia-white-9781911239437","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
