Interesting interpretations of Hitchcock

The Univeristy of California Press is offering a book "Alfred Hitchcock Centenary Essays" which looks very interesting. Their website describes it so:

Alfred Hitchcock: Centenary Essays displays the range and breadth of Hitchcock scholarship and assesses the significance of his singular body of work. The book engages with Hitchcock's characteristic formal and aesthetic preoccupations, his relationship with modernism and politics and his engagement with romance and sexuality.


but it's the contents list that is especially interesting:
