I have included this chapter as a reference for Strange Fits of Passion because I used it extensively in my analysis to argue the point that Strange Fits of Passion is a contemporary form of Melodrama/Women's Film - the new social barrier, rather than being class distinctions, is sexuality. |
| Synopsis |
This chapter discusses theories on Melodrama and Women's Film - focusing on writers such as Laura Mulvey, Thomas Elsaesser and Geoffrey Nowell-Smith |
