Fashioning the Nation: Costume and Identity in British Cinema

by Pam Cook

This work explores the history of costume in British film, from the 1920s to the 1990s. It shows how period costume romances, such as "Caravan", featured sensual designs which caused a scandal in postwar society, and it explains the cultural implications of this scandal.
