Popular cinema is saturated with images and narratives of
empire. With" Projecting Empire," Chapman and Cull have written the
first major study of imperialism and cinema for over thirty years.
This welcome text maps the history of empire cinema in both
Hollywood and Britain through a serious of case studies of popular
films including biopics, adventures, literary adaptations,
melodramas, comedies and documentaries, from the 1930s and 'The
Four Feathers' to the present, with Indiana Jones and "Three
Kings." The authors consider industry-wide trends and place the
films in their wider cultural and historical contexts. Using
primary sources that include private papers, they look at the
presence of particular auteurs in the cinema of Imperialism,
including Korda, Lean, Huston and Attenborough, as well as the
actors who brought the stories to life, such as Elizabeth Taylor
and George Clooney. At a time when imperialism has a new
significance in the world, this book will fulfil the needs of
students and interested filmgoers alike.
