Visions of England is a provocative and original exploration of
Englishness, in particular English class, in contemporary cinema.
Class has been a central part, whether consciously or not, of much
of English social analysis and artistic production for over a
century. But as a way of interpreting society, class has found
itself sidelined in a postmodern world. Visions of England presents
a detailed analysis of the changing landscape of English class and
culture. Visions of England explores a wide range of film
production - from gangster thrillers like Lock, Stock Two Smoking
Barrels to the period cinema of Elizabeth, from cult classics like
Performance and Trainspotting to the mainstream romantic comedy of
Notting Hill and Bridget Jones, from the social realist drama of
Billy Elliot and The Full Monty to the multicultural comedy of Bend
it like Beckham, and the experimentalism of films such as London
Orbital and Robinson in Space. An extraordinarily wide-ranging and
incisive study, Visions of England rewrites the relationship of
film and Englishness.
