The British Cinema Book by Robert Murphy
Serious scholarly writing and research on British cinema has burgeoned to a dizzying degree in recent decades, and this new four-volume collection from Routledge meets the need for an authoritative reference work to enable users to navigate and make sense of the subject's large body of scholarship, and the continuing explosion in research output. Edited by Robert Murphy, the leading expert in the field, the book is a 'mini library' of the foundational and the very best cutting-edge scholarship on British cinema.
'The third edition of this excellent, illustrated collection of essays on British cinema provides an overview of the key issues, debates and historyFirst published in 1997, it has been expanded to include case studies of individual films, and several new essays on subjects such as the representation of women in 1950s cinema and the birth of British Asian cinema in the 90s. Its range is impressive.' - Peter Smith, The Guardian '...a delightful gateway into the rich world of British cinema.' - Simon Brown, Viewfinder
