Opis

"History on Film "is a clear, systematic, introductory guide to issues involved in using historical film in the study of history.
Blending theoretical and methodological issues with lots of real examples, Marnie Huges-Warrington discusses such issues as:
* Do historical films necessarily make bad (or good) history?
* Can film be used as historical evidence?
* Are documentaries more useful to historians than historical drama?
Students of both history and film studies will find much here to challenge and interest them in the pursuit of their studies.
