Swedish-born Birgitta Steene, PhD, is professor emerita in cinema studies and Scandinavian literature at the University of Washington and has also been a professor in the film department at Stockholm University. She is the recipient of an honoris causa doctorate from her alma mater, the University of Uppsala. The author of numerous books and articles on Scandinavian drama and film, Birgitta Steene has focused much of her research on Ingmar Bergman and has lectured extensively on the subject throughout the world.
"'No scholar has more consistently and perceptively responded to Bergman's oeuvre than Birgitta Steene. With her dual cultural background and access to Bergman material in his native language, she is uniquely qualified to provide both an international and Swedish perspective on the critical reception to his extraordinary output. Her new book offers a comprehensive overview and annotated record of his prolific accomplishments. As Bergman's mighty career draws to a close, the Reference Guide will serve as the first source as well as the gold standard for a generation of future scholars.' Lloyd Michaels, professor of English, Allegheny College, Pennsylvania"
