About Us

Literature Film Quarterly, established in 1973, for over thirty years has focused upon problems of adapting and transforming fiction and drama into film. It has also covered film genre, theory, and criticism and has featured interviews with screenwriters (such as Daniel Taradash, Horton Foote, and Joan Tewkesbury) and directors (such as Robert Altman, Robert Wise, Alain Robbe-Grillet, Louis Malle, and others). It circulates coast-to-coast in the United States and Canada and has nearly 200 subscribers in nearly thirty foreign countries beyond North America.

 

Contributors over the years have included established writers and critics such as Warren French, Harry T. Moore, Bruce Kawin, Brian McFarlane, James Naremore, and Herman G. Weinberg; Shakespeareans R. H. Ball, Normand Berlin, Jack J. Jorgens, Michael Mullin, Kenneth S. Rothwell, and Bernice W. Kliman; and the authors of a number of film appreciation textbooks, such as Louis D. Giannetti, James Monaco, Charles Eidsvik, Morris Beja, James F. Scott, Thomas Sobchack, and Vivian Sobchack.

LFQ is indexed the International Federation of Film Archives (FIAF) in its International Index to Film Periodicals, by Film Literature Index, and by the annual PMLA Bibliography; it is also represented in Abstracts of English Studies, The Annual Bibliography of English Language and Literature, and The Humanities Index.
