'Verhoeven's direct, accessible style opens up the book to a wide audience... Highly recommended. All readers.' - CHOICE'Verhoeven’s is an informed and carefully constructed text that considers the needs of a readership spanning Campion’s fans, critics, students, scholars and industry members. Its four chapters successively discuss Campion's representation in the media, industry and academia, followed by a long interview between the filmmaker and author. This structure bears out Verhoeven's argument that there are many irreducible Campions at work. The weight of this argument is borne elegantly and effectively by prose that renders Verhoeven's terms of analysis clear and pithy' – Media International Australia'a veritable 'source book', complete with an annotated chronology and filmography, suggested resources and glossary, which many readers will no doubt find useful' – Media International Australia'By artfully fusing Campion with the concept of auterism, and splitting each apart in the process, Jane Campion offers a multitude of invaluable fragments that point to the discontinuities and possibilities of living, and writing, large.' – Media International Australia
