1 Female Sexuality, Creativity, and Desire in The Piano Richard Allen , 2000 single work criticism
— Appears in: Piano Lessons : Approaches to The Piano 2000; (p. 44-63)

'In an informed analysis of the film, Richard Allen provides a comprehensive rationale for the "elective mutism" of Ada McGrath. He introduces the relation of muteness to the Gothic melodrama and explains how Jane Campion subversts and transforms the conventions of melodrama in her subject positioning of Ada.' (p.xii)
