{"product_id":"historical-film-jonathan-stubbs-9781847884978","title":"Historical Film","description":"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. \u003ci\u003eHistorical Film: A Critical Introduction\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonathan Stubbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1847884970\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781847884978\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 03\/28\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.80d","brand":"Jonathan Stubbs","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44227830055167,"sku":"9781847884978","price":40.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_48741c5a-f0e4-4fdc-80ac-b78958710270.jpg?v=1692810853","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/historical-film-jonathan-stubbs-9781847884978","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
