New title explores the work of "conservative" filmmaker, Whit Stillman
In Doomed Bourgeois in Love: Essays on the films of Whit Stillman, editor Mark C. Henrie brings together a fine collection of political theorists, literary critics, and classicists to explore the meaning of Stillman's first three films, Metropolitan, Barcelona, and The Last Days of Disco. These essayists include Mary P. Nichols (author, Reconstructing Woody), James Bowman (American Editor, Times Literary Supplement), R. V. Young (author, At War with the Word), and many others. They contend in their essays that Stillman's art is an effort to "ironize" our ironic age; as such, they constitute a major achievement of Christian humanism in our time.

and see for yourself why Roger Ebert, of the Chicago Sun-Times says, "If F. Scott Fitzgerald were to return to life, he would feel at home in a Whit Stillman movie. Stillman listens to how people talk, and knows what it reveals about them."
