Historical film has been an important genre since the earliest
silent films. The French Revolution, the American Civil War, the
conquest of the New World, World War II--all have been repeatedly
represented in film. But how do we distinguish between
fictionalized spectacle and authentic historical
representation?
Writing History in Film sets out the narratological,
semiological, rhetorical, and philosophical bases for understanding
how film can function as a form of historical interpretation and
representation. With case studies and an interdisciplinary
approach, William Guynn examines the key issues facing film
students and scholars, historians, and anyone interested in how we
see our historical past.
