Editorial Reviews

Review

"Christoph Lindner's anthology is not only the ideal textbook for university or college courses on 007 but also an excellent case study in popular culture" --Christoph Laught, University of Liverpool

--This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.


Product Description

Sean Connery's tuxedo, Ursula Andress' bikini, Oddjob's bowler hat, and Q's gadgets are just a few defining features of the 007 world examined in The James Bond Phenomenon. Drawn from the fields of literary, film, music, and cultural studies, the essays in this collection range from revitalized readings of Ian Fleming's original spy novels to the analysis of Pussy Galore's lesbianism, Miss Moneypenny's filmic feminism, and Pierce Brosnan's techno-fetishism. Together, the essays not only consider the James Bond novels and films in relation to their historical, political, and social contexts from the cold-war period forward, but also examine the classic Bond canon from an array of theoretical perspectives.

5.0 out of 5 stars book has special meaning, March 29, 2009
By L. Bertsch (Hopkinsville, KY USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I purchased this book for my son. It has special meaning for him since the author was one of his professor's in college. I think he was planning to get it autographed by his professor as well.
