Announcing the release of Deb Verhoeven's book on Jane Campion 
(Routledge, 2009).

This book will be of particular interest to anyone teaching or 
researching in the areas of Auteur Studies; Australian and/or New 
Zealand cinema; Film distribution and marketing; Celebrity Studies; 
Women's studies; Film criticism and journalism. 

Description
In this detailed account of Jane Campion's career as a filmmaker, Deb 
Verhoeven examines specifically how contemporary film directors 
'fashion' themselves as auteurs - through their personal interactions 
with the media, in their choice of projects, in their emphasis on 
particular filmmaking techniques and finally in the promotion of 
their films.

The book examines in depth the circulation and status of Campion's 
'auteur-name' for three authorising audiences: the media, the film 
industry and academics.

Through analysis of key approaches to Campion's films, such as The 
Piano; In the Cut; Sweetie; An Angel at My Table; and Holy Smoke 
Verhoeven introduces students to the passionate debates surrounding 
this controversial and often experimental director.

The book features a career overview, a filmography, scene-by-scene 
analysis and an extended interview with Campion on her approach to 
creativity.
