Godfrey moves with skill between the landmarks of New Hollywood, plotting novel routes, excursions and detours in order to give us a masterly and compelling guide to the era's films.


Godfrey moves with skill between the landmarks of New Hollywood, plotting novel routes, excursions and detours in order to give us a masterly and compelling guide to the era's films. --Peter Stanfield author of Hoodlum Movies: Seriality and the Outlaw Biker Film Cycle, 1966-1972 The Limits of Auteurism is a completely new interpretation of the New Hollywood as a period and as an industrial/aesthetic phenomenon. Godfrey's scholarship is very nearly exhaustive, and his writing exquisite and cogently organized. --David Cook author of Lost Illusions: American Cinema in the Shadow of Watergate and Vietnam, 1970-1979


For those who are interested in the New Hollywood period and American cinema, this is a book that contributes usefully to the body of scholarship on this fertile time. One of its strengths is the way in which it balances its academic preoccupations with general accessibility, facilitated through writing that elucidates rather than obscures. Godfrey's panoramic view of cinematic creation - from production conditions, to textual features, to historical reference, to critical reception - importantly places his analysis in a broad context, ensuring that there are no reasons to question his thoroughness. -- Film Matters Godfrey moves with skill between the landmarks of New Hollywood, plotting novel routes, excursions and detours in order to give us a masterly and compelling guide to the era's films. --Peter Stanfield author of Hoodlum Movies: Seriality and the Outlaw Biker Film Cycle, 1966-1972 The Limits of Auteurism is a completely new interpretation of the New Hollywood as a period and as an industrial/aesthetic phenomenon.
