Excerpts

Renowned as the Master of Suspense, Hitchcock is one of the most popular
directors of the 20th century. Few filmmakers are as studied, imitated, or revered as
Alfred Hitchcock; even fewer have left behind such a body of complex and controversial
works. Over the course of more than 50 feature films and numerous other
projects—including two long-running television series—Hitchcock revolutionized the suspense thriller genre, pushed the psychological thriller to its
limits, and kept audiences around the world on the edge of their seats.
The Encyclopedia of Alfred Hitchcock is the only single-volume resource on the director's amazing career and moviemaking milestones. More than 1,200 concise entries explore:
Each of Hitchcock's more than fifty films in detail, including Vertigo, The
Birds, and PsychoHis television directing effortsKey members of his cast and crewInspirations for his filmsVarious studios and production companies with which he workedMajor schools of critical thought regarding his worksRecurring themes and motifs that defined his signature styleand much more.
An index and bibliography provide sources for further reading and research.
