Television and film not only entertain and reflect social change,
they may also participate and influence these changes -- the recent
success of The Full Monty and Billy Elliot show popular British
comedy based on such painful social transformations.
Looking at Class brings together film and television
practitioners with academic students of cultural and economic
change to examine the media representation of the British working
class in the twentieth century -- a time of decline for the manual
working class when a complex service-based economy emerged. The
book covers a large range of genres from documentaries to soaps and
shows that complex cultural transitions can be communicated clearly
in prose as well as in screen drama.
