Thomas Nelson's perceptive and comprehensive study of Kubrick rescues him from the hostility of auteurist critics and discovers the roots of a Kubrickian aesthetic, which Nelson defines as the \"aesthetics of contingency.\" \u003cbr\u003e After analyzing how this aesthetic develops and manifests itself in the early works, Nelson devotes individual chapters to Lolita, Dr. Stangelove, 2001: A Space Odyssey, A Clockwork Orange, Barry Lyndon, and The Shining. \u003cbr\u003e For this expanded edition, Nelson has added chapters on Full Metal Jacket and Eyes Wide Shut, and, in the wake of the director's death, reconsidered his body of work as a whole. By placing Kubrick in a historical and theoretical context, this study is a reliable guide into—and out of—Stanley Kubrick's cinematic maze.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003cbr\u003e Preface to the Second Edition\u003cbr\u003e 1 Kubrick and the Aesthetics of Contingency: The Shaping of a Film Imagination \u003cbr\u003e 2 In The Beginning: From Fear and Desire to Paths of Glory\u003cbr\u003e 3 Lolita: Kubrick in Nabokovland\u003cbr\u003e 4 Dr. Strangelove: The Descent of Man\u003cbr\u003e 5 2001: A Space Odyssey: The Ultimate Cinematic Universe\u003cbr\u003e 6 A Clockwork Orange: The Performing Artist\u003cbr\u003e 7 Barry Lyndon: A Time Odyssey\u003cbr\u003e 8 The Shining: Remembrance of Things Forgotten\u003cbr\u003e 9 Full Metal Jacket: The Kubrickian Thing\u003cbr\u003e 10 Eyes Wide Shut: House Calls\u003cbr\u003e 11 Postscript\u003cbr\u003e Filmography\u003cbr\u003e Selected Bibliography\u003cbr\u003e Notes\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e Index\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Indiana University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52734317723928,"sku":"9780253213907","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/kubrick-new-and-expanded-edition-inside-a-film-artists-maze-paperback-softback-9780253213907","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
