Doomed Bourgeois in Love : Essays on the Films of Whit Stillman
Editorial Reviews
National Review
"The contributors...have a great many shrewd and illuminating things to say about Stillman and his art..."
Book Description
Critics have praised the films of writer/director Whit Stillman for their exceptionally intelligent portrayal of the lives and loves of the "urban haute bourgeoisie." His three comedies of manners--"Metropolitan," "Barcelona," and "The Last Days of Disco"--sparkle with urbane and ironic wit. In Doomed Bourgeois in Love, the traditionalist social critic Mark C. Henrie brings together a collection of political theorists, literary critics, and classicists to explore the meaning of Stillman's films. These essays contend that Stillman's art is an effort to "ironize" our ironic age; as such, they constitute a major achievement of Christian humanism in our time.
