Review
“...thoroughly analytical and comprehensive study of both Mason and Raymond Burr covers the careers of both, and of the others who through the years have played Mason onradio, TV, in movies and elsewhere....It is a marvelous thesis....Bounds gives us the full story in a very readable and extremely valuable study.”–Journal of American Culture
Book Description
This is the first systematic look at Erle Stanley Gardner's character Perry Mason. Bounds uses a combination of neoformalist and production of culture approaches and explores the characters and situations of the lawyer/detective narrative of Perry Mason, showing how it has been created, produced, and reproduced over time, in different media. Relying on archival data and detailed textual analysis, this book identifies a complex series of stylistic devices and motivations that govern each production, ultimately presenting an insightful look at a well-known figure in American popular culture. This book contains an exhaustive list of the various manifestations of Perry Mason in novels, films television, radio, comic strips, and other forms.
