Moving images of the British monarchy are almost as old as the
moving image itself, dating back to an 1895 American drama, The
Execution of Mary Queen of Scots. And from 1896, actual British
monarchs appeared in the new 'animated photography', led by Queen
Victoria. Half a century later the 1953 coronation of Elizabeth II
was a milestone in the adoption of television, watched by 20
million Britons and 100 million North Americans. At the century's
end, Princess Diana's funeral was viewed by 2.5 billion worldwide.
In the first book length examination of film and television
representations of this enduring institution, distinguished
scholars of media and political history analyze the screen
representations of royalty from Henry VIII to 'William and Kate'.
Seventeen essays by Ian Christie, Elisabeth Bronfen, Andrew Higson,
Karen Lury, Glynn Davies, Jane Landman and other international
commentators examine the portrayal of royalty in the 'actuality'
picture, the early extended feature, amateur cinema, the movie
melodrama, the Commonwealth documentary, New Queer Cinema, TV
current affairs, the big screen ceremonial and the post-historical
boxed set. A long overdue contribution to film and television
studies, this book will be essential reading for scholars and
students of British media and political history. -- .
