"Frederick Wiseman is a chronicler of America's public institutions. His films have focused on city, state, and local governments; hospitals; asylums; creative organizations and museums; schools, libraries, and more. In recent years, Wiseman's films have reached a new level of popularity, with works like In Jackson Heights (2015), Monrovia, Indiana (2018) and, most recently, City Hall (2020) all earning widespread acclaim. Barry Keith Grant's Voyages of Discovery was the first comprehensive study of Wiseman when it was first published in 1992; there have been no other career-spanning books on Wiseman since then. In this revised edition, Grant covers the last 30 years of Wiseman's career, adding recent films to existing chapters where they fit, with a particular focus on adding coverage of how Wiseman's approach to depicting issues of race, class, and gender have evolved over the course of his career. Two new chapters have been added - one on creative organizations (National Gallery; Ballet; La Danse, and others)and one on Wiseman's ""town"" films (Beflast, Maine; Monrovia, Indiana; Jackson Heights, Queens, and others). Grant has also thoroughly revised the introductory chapter, which focuses primarily on Wiseman's filmmaking methods and provides an aesthetic and formal reading of Wiseman as an auteur which grounds the following chapters."--
