Film Criticism in Books

Use these subject headings to help identify books containing criticism that might be useful in your research. Chapters in edited volumes might be of use to you, so just searching book titles will not always help you find everything-- these subject headings allow you to access books by topic without having to rely totally on keyword selection. You will notice that many of these volumes fall in the PN range of the call numbers-- but some books will be found elsewhere.
