ISBN: 071907682X ISBN-13: 9780719076824 Publisher: Manchester University Press OUR PRICE: $28.45 Product Type: Paperback - Other Formats Published: November 2007 Annotation: This book is the first study of "Doctor Who" to explore the Doctor's adventures in all their manifestations: on television, audio, in print and beyond. Although focusing on the original series (1963-89), the collection recognizes that "Doctor Who" is a cultural phenomenon that has been "told" in many ways through a myriad of texts. Combining essays from academics as well as practitioners who have contributed to the ongoing narrative of "Doctor Who," the collection encourages debate with contrasting opinions on the strengths (and weaknesses) of the program, offering a multi-perspective view of "Doctor Who" and the reasons for its endurance. |
