These 'women in question' offer a way into the complexities of British cinema's culture of stardom which has sometimes espoused glamour and sometimes rejected it, and is entangled with issues of regional, national and ethnic identity, as well as class, sexuality and age. Exploring and investigating the variety of British star femininities over the last seventy-five years, this book also interrogates the omissions and absences from that same cinematic firmament.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Melanie Williams\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474405649\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474405645\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/10\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.10w x 0.40d","brand":"Melanie Williams","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43935509872895,"sku":"9781474405645","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_1df85134-1fa3-4a60-b4ca-650c4b8e501e.jpg?v=1681420212","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/female-stars-of-british-cinema-melanie-williams-9781474405645","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
