The British Boxing Film

Af: Stephen Glynn Engelsk Paperback
Tjek vores konkurrenters priser
This book constitutes the first full volume dedicated to an academic analysis of the sport of boxing as depicted in British film. Through close textual analysis, production and reception histories and readings that establish social, cultural and political contexts, the book explores the ways in which prizefighters, amateur boxers, managers and supporters (from Regency gentry to East End gangsters) are represented on the British screen. Exploring a complex and controversial sport, it addresses not only the pain-versus-reward dilemma that boxing necessarily engenders, but also the frequently censorious attitude of those in authority, with boxing''s social development facilitating a wider study around issues of class, gender and race, latterly contesting the whole notion of ''Britishness''. Varying in scope from Northern circuit comedies to London-based ''ladsploitation'' films, from auteur entries by Alfred Hitchcock to programme fillers by E.J. Fancey, the boxing film also serves as a prism through which one can trace major historical shifts in the British film industry.
