Bøker av Leger Grindon

The most up-to-date study of the Hollywood romantic comedy film, from the development of sound to the twenty-first century, this book examines the history and conventions of the genre and surveys the controversies arising from the critical responses to these films.

Examines how historical fiction films interpret the present through a representation of the past. Utilizing the past as a way of responding to social conflicts in the present, this work shows how the genre promotes a political agenda, superseding the influence of scholarship on the public's perception and interpretation of history.
