Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This set is one of the cornerstones of film scholarship, and one of the most important works on twentieth century British culture. Published between 1948 and 1985, the volumes document all aspects of film making in Britain from its origins in 1896 to 1939. Rachael Low pioneered the interpretation of films in their context, arguing that to understand films it was necessary to establish their context. Her seven volumes are an object lesson in meticulous research, lucid analysis and accessible style, and have become the benchmark in film history.

Book excerpt: "Great authors" are increasingly being encountered by general audiences and critics thanks to films and television programs that have been adapted from their best-known works. Thomas Hardy is one of those authors. His work has inspired filmmakers from the silent age and modern times. This book is the first book-length study in what has become a growing field of interest in film adaptations of Hardy's novels. Part One of this book analyzes the popular image of Hardy and his work, the reproduction of this image in film adaptations, and critical stereotypes about him and his fiction. Part Two juxtaposes Hardy's Far from the Madding Crowd and Schlesinger's adaptation, Hardy's Tess of the d'Urbervilles and Polanski's adaptation, and Hardy's Jude the Obscure and Winterbottom's adaptation. Each discussion of the novel and adaptation in question considers the novel itself, the critical history of the novel, how it has been adapted to film, and how the individual filmmakers have struggled with problems inherent in Hardy's novels. Part Three analyzes adaptations of The Woodlanders, The Scarlet Tunic, and The Claim, all of which have scarcely been seen in the United States or which were not distributed in the United States, and four television movies and miniseries that were based on Hardy's work.

Download or read book British Cinema written by Amy Sargeant and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-07-25 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although new writing and research on British cinema has burgeoned over the last fifteen years, there has been a continued lack of single-authored books providing a coherent overview to this fascinating and elusive national cinema. Amy Sargeant's personal and entertaining history of British cinema aims to fill this gap. With its insightful decade-by-decade analysis, British Cinema is brought alive for a new generation of British cinema students and the general reader alike. Sargeant challenges Rachel Low's premise 'that few of the films made in England during the twenties were any good' by covering subjects as diverse as the art of intertitling, the narrative complexities of Shooting Stars and Brunel's burlesques. Sargeant goes onto examine among other things, the differing acting styles of Dietrich and Donat in the seminal Knight Without Armour to early promotional campaigns in the 1930s, whereas subjects ranging from product endorsement by stars to the character of the suburban wife are covered in the 1940s. The 1950s includes topics such as the effect of post-war government intervention, to Free Cinema and Lindsay Anderson's 'infuriating lapses of rigour', together with a much-needed overview of Michael Balcon's contribution to British cinema. For Sargeant, the 1960s provides an overview of the tentative relationship between film and advertising and the rise of young Turks such as Tony Richardson, Ken Loach, Donald Cammell and Nicolas Roeg.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Far from the Madding Crowd Thomas Hardy - Far from the Madding Crowd is perhaps the most pastoral of Hardy's Wessex novels. It tells the story of the young farmer Gabriel Oak and his love for and pursuit of the elusive Bathsheba Everdene, whose wayward nature leads her to both tragedy and true love. It tells of the dashing Sergeant Troy whose rakish philosophy of life was '...the past was yesterday; never, the day after', and lastly, of the introverted and reclusive gentleman farmer, Mr Boldwood, whose love fills him with '...a fearful sense of exposure', when he first sets eyes on Bathsheba. The background of this tale is the Wessex countryside in all its moods, contriving to make it one of the most English of great English novels.

OCTOBER, 1825. Cambridge, 1825. Holmes is listed among the freshmen, on p. 17. With much curi ous data. College board was 1.75 a week, board in town has been of late from 2 to 3 a week, and the estimated expenses for the college year totalled 176. This was the first Harvard catalogue in I2mo form. ORDER OF PERFORMANCES FOR EXHIBITION, TUESDAY, APRIL 29, 1828. Leaflet, 4 pp. Cambridge, 1828. Hitherto unknown. Holmes appears as No. 7, An English Translation, from Sallust The Speech of Caius Memmius. A MS in Holmes hand is preserved in the Harvard archives photo stat with this. To date it has never been printed. Other speakers were William H. Channing, Edward H. Hedge, and Robert C. Winthrop. THE HARVARD REGISTER. 1827-1828. Cambridge, 1828. Copy formerly belonging to James H. Wilder, Holmes class mate, who has identified in pencil the bulk of the authors, and indi cates as Holmes the article Periodical Publications, at p. 76 May, 1827, signed W. H. If this identification is true, it is Holmes first published work, but in spite of the analogy of the sig nature with H. H. Edward Holyoke Hedge, it is certainly not true. Andrews Nortons copy, owned by H. V. Bail, attributes the article to William H. Brooks, 1827, as do four copies in the Har vard library, and the recently discovered wrappered copy of the May, 1827, issue belonging to John H. Warland, 1827. One of the Harvard copies attributes the poem at p, 27, Napoleons Depar ture to St, Helena, to Holmes, but the others unite in giving its author as John H Warland it is signed H. Various letters arc laid in concerning this publication, including four from P. K. Foky. In this collection only for historical purpose, since the above and other evidence proves that it has nothing by Holmes. 453 454 OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES LINES TO A YOUNG LADY. MS, without title, 4 x 3, three 6-line stanzas and one 4-line stanza. Support ing documents. Salem 1828. Earliest Holmes manuscript in private hands. Wholly unpub lished, and preceded in poetry only by his little-boy poem, in Abiels hand, in the E. J. Holmes papers, the Andover translation from Virgil, and perhaps the green bantling poem, q. v. The supporting documents tell the story. The poem was written for Marianne C. D. Silsbee maiden name not given as shown by a 1913 statement from a descendant. The date, 1828, comes from the envelope which enclosed them. They were written at Salem, where Holmes sometimes passed a part of the vacation with a married sister Mrs. Upham. With this is a charming a. l. s. and envelope of 1879 rom Holmes to Mrs. Silsbee, referring to early college days, my visits to Salem, etc. Marianne was then 14. The verses are undistinguished, but accurate, rhyming ab, ab, ce, a metre rarely used by Holmes. ORDER OF EXERCISES FOR COMMENCEMENT, 26 August 1829. 410 leaflet, 4 pp. Cambridge, 1829. Holmes is of course listed as one of those graduating and No. 9 is A Poem. OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES, Cambridge A contempo rary hand has endorsed the length of each contribution, and its quality, from which we learn that the poem began at 1 2 152 and took eight minutes in delivery, and was ggR which high praise b given to only one of the other twenty-eight participants, The ex ercises began at 10 40 A. M., and continued without interval to 3 142 P. M, the informant notes. Again a MS in Holmes hand is preserved in the Harvard archives. It has never been printed...
