Beskrivning
Although precise definitions have not been agreed on, historical cinema tends to cut across existing genre categories and establishes an intimidatingly large group of films. In recent years, a lively body of work has developed around historical cinema, much of it proposing valuable new ways to consider the relationship between cinematic and historical representation. However, only a small proportion of this writing has paid attention to the issue of genre. In order to counter this omission, this book combines a critical analysis of the Hollywood historical film with an examination of its generic dimensions and a history of its development since the silent period. Historical Film: A Critical Introduction is concerned not simply with the formal properties of the films at hand, but also the ways in which they have been promoted, interpreted and discussed in relation to their engagement with the past.

Recensioner i media

At the intersection of film and history, no topic has attracted as much scholarly attention in recent years as the genre of historical film. Jonathan Stubbs’ book is not only an authoritative guide to the on-going debates about this genre, but also a major new contribution to them, demonstrating that historical films have been at the very heart of Hollywood’s operations for much of the industry’s history. The book draws on an immense amount of original research and combines wonderfully perceptive, detailed film analyses with surveys of major developments and discussions of key themes. It will be of great interest both to film scholars and to historians.
