These case studies give a thorough platform to explore the most prominent and diverse examples of realist practice in Britain over the last 80 years. The construction and critical analysis of this social realist canona creates the conditions to reassess and look anew at this most British of cinematic traditions. - - 606 $aSocial realism$zGreat Britain 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSocial realism 676 $a243 700 $aForrest$b David$0467628 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910453114503321 996 $aSocial realism$92200148 997 $aUNINA
