Folks,
There's a regular stream of film & media studies students logging on and asking to be pointed towards pre-existing scholarly work on Shane's films. As such, the idea is that Jill and myself will keep a continually updated guide to what's currently in print (and forthcoming) here in this thread. Wherever possible, a link will be provided to material that is freely accessible online.
Please re-direct related enquiries from the main forum over here. Ta!
