British Historical Cinema: The History, Heritage and Costume Film by Claire Monk

Description: British Historical Cinema by Claire Monk, Amy Sargeant Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Exploring the ways in which British films represent the past onscreen, the contributors ask whose history is being represented. With reference to various films in this genre, they examine issues of authenticity and nationalism, race and colonialism, gender and class. Publisher Description Films recreating or addressing the past - recent or distant, actual or imagined - have been a mainstay of British cinema since the silent era, and have been consistent successes with audiences both at home and abroad. Yet this popularity has made British history, costume and heritage films some of British cinemas most contested genres, and in certain cases they have become targets of critical and political attack. From Elizabeth to Carry On Up The Khyber, and from the heritage-film debate to issues of authenticity and questions of genre, British Historical Cinema explores the ways in which British films have represented the past on screen, the issues they raise and the debates they have provoked. Contributors from a range of disciplines and cultural perspectives draw parallels between film and the presentation of the past in academic and popular history writing, literature, the popular media and the visual arts. Discussing films from biopics to literary adaptations, and from depictions of Britains colonial past to the re-imagining of recent decades in retro films such as Velvet Goldmine, they ask whose history is being represented, from whose perspective, and why.Placing films in the historical and cultural contexts in which they were produced and released, and considering the expectations and responses of audiences and critics, British Historical Cinema seeks to provoke a reappraisal of the terms in which British period films are discussed and evaluated.
