Dissolving Views: Key Writings on British Cinema

by Andrew Higson (Editor), John Ellis (Contributor)

Testifying to the fact that British cinema is richer and more diverse than is generally recognized, this collection comprises essays which bring new perspectives to bear on neglected topics in this area. Topics Gainsborough Studios, Alfred Hitchcock's British films, Derek Jarman's Shakespeare roles, homosexuality and British cinema, women's films of the 1980s, film criticism in the 1940s, post-war films and the English avant-garde.
