vital aspect of contemporary Indian culture has flourished in
recent decades. This new four-volume collection from Routledge
meets the need for an authoritative anthology to enable users to
navigate and make sense of the subject s large body of scholarship,
and the continuing explosion in research output. Edited by Rachel
Dwyer, a leading expert in the field, this new Routledge title is a
mini library of foundational and the very best cutting-edge
work.
Bollywood provides an indispensable one-stop resource on the
development of popular cinema within India, with, of course, an
emphasis on Hindi films produced in Bombay. Tracing the development
of Indian popular cinema from the early twentieth century onwards,
the collection allows users fully to comprehend the role of film
and popular culture in colonial and independent India, the
evolution and nature of different film genres, the importance of
film music, and the great regional diversity 'Bollywood'
encompasses. The collection also brings together the best and most
influential scholarly works on topics that include: the silent era;
the studio period; the Golden Age; and the so-called segmentation
of cinema. The contribution of major stars and directors is also
assessed.
Bollywood includes a full index and a comprehensive
introduction, newly written by the editor, which places the
collected material in its historical and intellectual context. It
is an essential work of reference and is destined to be valued by
scholars and advanced students as a vital research tool.
