{"product_id":"classics-on-screen-alastair-blanshard-9780715637241","title":"Classics on Screen","description":"Cinema loves Greece and Rome. Hollywood epics, animated movies, avant-garde features - all have turned to classical antiquity for inspiration. On the silver screen, we see a world of virtuous Christians, depraved pagans, gladiators, charioteers, Spartan warriors, and muscle-bound demigods - a potent mix of sex, violence and art. So pervasive are these images that this cinematic output dominates the public understanding of the ancient world. Through analysis of ten influential films, this book examines the representation of Greece and Rome in both popular and art-house cinema, arranged by cinematic genre. Key scenes are discussed and each film is located in its historical context.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alastair Blanshard, Kim Shahabudin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 071563724X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780715637241\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.90d","brand":"Alastair Blanshard","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43925734129919,"sku":"9780715637241","price":40.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_5edd1e08-89f2-42be-ab0c-40683ed8d398.jpg?v=1681079035","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/classics-on-screen-alastair-blanshard-9780715637241","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
