Hollywood Spectatorship: Changing Perceptions of Cinema Audiences

by Melvyn Stokes (Editor), Richard Maltby

This is an examination of the concepts of spectatorship in the light of historical accounts of audience reception. The book looks at how audiences have historically talked about Hollywood movies, and the ways in which "word-of-mouth" responses have affected the reception of individual movies.
