Monarchy in contemporary anglophone cinema --Index.In the first book-length examination of film and television representations of this enduring institution, distinguished scholars of media and political history analyse the screen representations of royalty from Henry VIII to ‘William and Kate’. Seventeen essays by international commentators including Ian Christie, Elisabeth Bronfen, Andrew Higson and Glynn Davies examine the portrayal of royalty in the ‘actuality’ picture, the early extended feature, amateur cinema, the movie melodrama, the Commonwealth documentary, New Queer Cinema, TV current affairs, the big screen ceremonial and the post-historical boxed set. Among their concerns are the commercial value of royal representations, the convergence of the monarch and the movie star, and the British monarchy’s historical use of the moving image to further its legitimacy. This book is a long-overdue contribution to film and television studies, and will be essential reading for scholars and students of British media and political history.Queens in motion picturesKings and rulers in motion picturesRoyal HousesGreat BritainHistoryQueens in motion pictures.Kings and rulers in motion pictures.Royal HousesHistory.302.23Merck MandyUkMaJRUBOOK9910136808403321The British monarchy on screen2220240UNINA
