John C. Stubbs, a former Fulbright lecturer in Italy, is a professor of English and film studies at Virginia Tech. He is the author of three books, including two dealing with Fellini, and has published articles on Fellini and other filmmakers in Cinema Journal and Literature/Film Quarterly.
"Federico Fellini as Auteur adds new and important criticism to the literature on the filmmaker. Where John C. Stubbs does not follow the tradition of the one film/one chapter format employed by most auteur authors, he opens wide the discussion on interesting topics. Here, Stubbs shines and provides analysis that no other scholar has done better or more thoroughly. When he is good, he is very good, and his sensitivity to the nuances of Fellini's films is admirable: no trendy jargon, just good, honest criticism that makes the reader see Fellini in a new light."--Peter Bondanella, author of The Films of Federico Fellini "Federico Fellini as Auteur is a significant piece of scholarship that is unlikely to be surpassed for quite some time. John C. Stubbs presents the most thorough, comprehensive, and in-depth treatment to date of the entire cinematic oeuvre of Fellini. Insightful and informed by a deep knowledge and dedication to 'auteurship, ' Stubbs goes far beyond what one usually finds in film studies. Absolutely first-rate."--John P. Welle, University of Notre Dame
