Joanna Rapf is the author
of Buster Keaton: A Bio-Bibliography (Greenwood, 1995), On
the Waterfront (Cambridge, 2002), and Interviews with Sidney
Lumet (Univ. of Mississippi Press, 2005). Her articles on film
have appeared in such journals as Film Quarterly, Literature/Film
Quarterly, Quarterly Review of Film & Video, Film Criticism,
Journal of Popular Culture, Studies in American Humor,
Western Humanities Review, and in a number of critical
anthologies, including an essay on feminism and Jerry Lewis praised by
the comedian himself in Hollywood Comedians: The Film Reader (Routledge,
2003). She is currently putting together a collection of essays on
"Children of the Hollywood Blacklist" for The Cinema
Journal. In addition to writing on film, she has also published on
English Romantic poetry in Victorian Poetry (Tennyson &
Wordsworth), Studies in Romanticism (John Clare), Studies
in English Literature (Byron), Keats-Shelley Memorial
Bulletin (Shelley), and two critical collections: Approaches
to Teaching Bryon's Poetry (MLA, 1991) and Influence and
Resistance in 19th-Century
Poetry (Macmillan, 1993). Professor Rapf's graduate courses
include Film Theory and Criticism, with an emphasis on feminist film
theory, and Comic Theory. She believes that today, when we watch more
television and see more movies than we read books, visual literacy is
the sine qua non of an educated and informed life.
