Book Presentation:
A Critical Companion to Steven Spielberg offers a comprehensive, detailed study of the works of Steven Spielberg. Spielbergʼs early productions stand as landmarks in contemporary cinema, and his involvement with film spans all cinematic genres. Today, Spielberg enjoys an immense and enduring popularity around the globe, and his productions have attracted (and continue to attract) both public and critical attention. This book investigates several distinct areas of Spielbergʼs works and addresses the different approaches and the range of topics invited by the multidimensionality of his oeuvre. The eighteen chapters in this book use different methodologies, offering a variegated and compelling picture of Spielbergʼs films, from his earliest works such as Duel (1971) and The Sugarland Express (1974) to his most recent productions, such as The BFG (2016), The Post (2017), and Ready Player One (2018).

Press Reviews:
No serious scholar of film should be without this important book dealing with such a significant film maker and cultural icon as Steven Spielberg. The book provides comprehensive and in-depth treatment of the man and his work—both in relation to his person and history—as well as his actual films. A must have. -- Bill Anderson, Professor of Religious Studies at Concordia University of Edmonton
This edited collection is of great importance to film studies. The contributors have a wide variety of perspectives and topics and cover the most recent film releases. They represent a young cohort of scholars and they unite to analyze Spielberg’s cinema at the highest level and to embed his work into the long tradition of the civilized arts. -- Frederick Wasser, professor of television and radio, Brooklyn College CUNY
