   Recently Reviewed: Legitimating Television

   “As a teaching tool, Newman and Levine's engaging and clear style make Legitimating Television suitable for both the graduate and undergraduate classroom, especially as a counterpoint to popular or scholarly sources that regard the increased cultural status of contemporary television in a more favorable light.”

   Book Review: The Persistence of Hollywood

   "Elsaesser has consistently returned to the subject of cinephilia and its importance as a positive and negative touchstone for both movie studies and movie-making itself. This preoccupation also allows Elsaesser to evocatively discuss his own emergence as a movie scholar and trace the patterns of his cinematic obsession across the geographies of, in his case, Germany, England, and France. ... The Persistence of Hollywood provides an exemplary account of the continued importance of studying Hollywood, while also betraying a deep-seated passion for the form." 
   --Australian Book Review, May 2012
