This book stages an encounter between romanticism in post-war and
contemporary cinema and trends in historical materialism associated
with revolutionary romantic historiography. Focused primarily on
British cinema and examples of Hollywood cinema with significant
relationships to British and English culture and history, it is
loosely configured around three key emblematic motifs - country,
land, people - that are simultaneously core values and rallying
cries of distinctive varieties of conservative, restitutionist and
revolutionary romanticism. The book seeks to establish the
continuing relevance of the revolutionary romantic critique of
capitalist modernity to contemporary political concerns such as the
fate of the proletariat, populism, Brexit post-nationalism, ecocide
and the Anthropocene.
