Bringing together seventeen original essays by scholars from around the world, Screwball Television offers a variety of international perspectives on Gilmore Girls. Adored by fans and celebrated by critics for its sophisticated wordplay and compelling portrayal of a mother-daughter relationship, this contemporary American TV program finally gets its due as a cultural production unlike any other, one that is beholden to Hollywood's screwball comedies of the 1930s, steeped in intertextual references, and framed as a "e;kinder, gentler kind of cult television series"e; in this tightly focused yet wide-ranging collection.This volume makes a significant contribution to television studies, genre studies, and women's studies.Screwball Television seeks to bring Gilmore Girls more fully into academic discourse not only as a topic worthy of critical scrutiny but also as an infinitely rewarding text capable of stimulating the imagination of students beyond the classroom.
