Right from the origins of cinema, countless films and television
dramas have offered sensational and seductive representations of
young people's lives. Youth is typically associated with energy,
idealism and physical beauty, but it is often represented as both
troubled and troubling. These representations are almost always
created by adults, implicitly reflecting an adult perspective on
how young people 'come of age'. Youth on Screen provides a
historical account of representations of youth in Britain and the
United States, stretching back over seventy years. From Blackboard
Jungle to This is England, and from Jailhouse Rock to Skins, it
covers a range of classics, as well as some intriguing obscurities.
Engagingly written and clearly organized, it offers a perfect
introduction for students and general readers.
