This book argues that over the twentieth and twenty-first
centuries, the cinema in Britain became the site on which childhood
was projected, examined, and understood. Through an analysis of
these projections; via case studies that encompass early cinema,
pre and post-war film, and contemporary cinema; this book
interprets the child in British cinema as a device through which to
reflect upon issues of national culture, race, empire, class, and
gender. Beginning with a discussion of early cinematic depictions
of the child in Britain, this book examines cultural expressions of
nationhood produced via non-commercial cinemas for children. It
considers the way cinema encroaches on the moral edification of the
child and the ostensible vibrancy and vitality of the British boy
in post-war cinema. The author explores the representational and
instrumental differences between depictions of boys and girls
before extending this discussion to investigate the treatment of
migrant, refugee, and immigrant children in British cinema. It ends
by recapitulating these arguments through a discussion of
internationally successful British blockbuster cinema. The child in
this study is a mobile figure, deployed across generic boundaries,
throughout the history of British cinema and embodying a range of
discourses regarding the health and wellbeing of the nation.
