Description

The Richard Dyer Reader brings together key writings by a foundational figure in the critical study of cinema and popular culture. This collection guides readers through Dyer's prolific output, exploring six thematic selections of essays and extracts that centre on stardom and the image, entertainment and ideology, gay politics and representation, whiteness, the pleasures of popular entertainment, and textual analysis.

A seventh section features interviews conducted across Dyer's career, including a new interview with editors Glyn Davis and Jaap Kooijman. The book offers an introduction for those new to Dyer's writings, as well as a fresh perspective for readers with a more comprehensive knowledge of his work. It includes archival and recent pieces of writing never previously anthologised, newly commissioned essays, and framing introductions to each section.
