During the Second World War, the popularity and importance of the
cinema in Britain was at its peak. In this groundbreaking book,
Richard Farmer provides a social and cultural history of cinemas
and cinemagoing in Britain between 1939 and 1945, and explores the
impact that the war had on the places in which British people
watched films. Although promising the possibility of escape from
the hardships and terrors of wartime life, the cinema was so
intimately woven into the fabric of British society that it could
not itself escape the war. Drawing on a wealth of contemporary
sources, and on the memories of wartime cinemagoers, Cinemagoing in
wartime Britain, 1939-45 is the first book to offer an in-depth
exploration of the impact that phenomena such as the black out, the
blitz, food rationing, evacuation and conscription had on both the
exhibition industry and the experiences of the picturegoers
themselves. -- .
Over half a century on, the 1960s continue to generate strong
intellectual and emotional responses - both positive and negative -
and this is no less true in the arena of film. Making substantial
use of new and underexplored archive resources that provide a
wealth of information and insight on the period in question, this
book offers a fresh perspective on the major resurgence of
creativity and international appeal experienced by British cinema
in that dramatic decade. Transformation and Tradition in 1960s
British Cinema is the first scholarly volume on this period of
British cinema for more than twenty-five years. It provides a major
reconsideration of the period by focusing on the central tensions
and contradiction between novelty/revolution and
continuity/tradition during what remains a highly contentious
period of cultural production and consumption.
