[ecrea] A Companion to Steven Spielberg

With the customary false modesty and apologies for cross posting, I am 
delighted to announce the publication of */A Companion to Steven 
Spielberg/*, an original edited collection for Wiley Blackwell/./

According to *Timothy Corrigan* (University of Pennsylvania), this is as 
an “energetic volume of first-rate essays” in which the work of “one of 
Hollywood’s most important and successful filmmakers” is “extensively 
considered from a variety of rich critical angles. Well organized, well 
written, and consistently illuminating.”
