A study of audiences for historical representation in film. By exploring the attitudes and habits of this audience, it breaks new ground both in scholarship of contemporary period films and in film-audience studies. It contrasts two opposite sections of late-1990s UK audiences, which has illuminating and unpredicted results.

From Elizabeth to Carry On Up The Khyber, and from the heritage-film debate to issues of authenticity and questions of genre, British Historical Cinema explores the ways in which British films have represented the past on screen.
