Best of British: Cinema and Society by Anthony Aldgate & Jeffrey Richards

An insightful exploration of British cinema and the society surrounding it, examining how films have reflected culture, class, politics and changing public life across the decades.

From Dad's Collection

This copy comes from my dad's personal collection. Dad was an actor and scriptwriter with a genuine love of cinema, performance and the world surrounding the stories shown on screen. He appreciated books that looked beyond individual films to consider how cinema reflected the society, culture and changing attitudes of its time. His collection remains an important part of Kate's Treasures15, with each book now looking for a new home where it can continue to be read and appreciated.

Written by respected film historians Anthony Aldgate and Jeffrey Richards, Best of British: Cinema and Society from 1930 to the Present examines British cinema alongside the changing society that produced and watched it.

This revised edition considers the relationship between film and developing attitudes towards politics, class, national identity and everyday life, placing British cinema within the wider historical and cultural context that shaped it.

A rewarding choice for readers interested in British cinema, film studies, cultural history and the relationship between society and the stories shown on screen.
