{"product_id":"soho-on-screen-jingan-young-9781805397298","title":"Soho on Screen: Cinematic Spaces of Bohemia and Cosmopolitanism, 1948-1963","description":"Despite Soho's rich cultural history, there remains an absence of work on the depiction of the popular neighbourhood in film. Soho on Screen provides one of the first studies of Soho within post-war British cinema. Drawing upon historical, cultural and urban studies of the area, this book explores twelve films and theatrically released documentaries from a filmography of over one hundred Soho set productions. While predominantly focusing on low-budget, exploitation films which are exemplars of British and international filmmaking, Young also offers new readings of star and director biographies, from Laurence Harvey to Emeric Pressburger, and in so doing enlivens discussion on filmmaking in a time and place of intense social transformation, technological innovation and growing permissiveness.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jingan Young\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 180539729X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781805397298\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berghahn Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 262\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.55d","brand":"Jingan Young","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47425397752063,"sku":"9781805397298","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ef4fbf63-1a8a-4476-8ce3-bb2e286627e1.jpg?v=1761538944","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/soho-on-screen-jingan-young-9781805397298","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
