| book description |

As one of the most influential contemporary film scholars, Linda Williams brought her critical feminist lens to some of societyâ€™s most maligned and underappreciated film genres and showed their undeniable impact on the evolution of cinema. Melodrama as Provocateur brings what was to be Williamsâ€™s last project â€“ a comparative investigation of French and American attitudes to theatrical and film melodrama â€“ together with a diverse group of scholars who respond to her provocations, rethinking melodramaâ€™s history and potential futures. Their contributions explore melodramaâ€™s transnational and transmedia histories, examine how melodrama became the default mode of contemporary media, and question why it plays an increasingly powerful role in political discourse today.
