Opis

Television Drama offers an account of British television drama from its origins in live studio drama in the prewar and immediate postwar years, through the Golden Age of the single play of the 1960s and 1970s, to its convergence with an emerging British art cinema in the 1990s.

Recenzje

Wise and illuminating book... Caughie's long-awaited contribution... Caughie is particularly adept at identifying the characteristics of television drama during this extraordinary quarter of a century... His book is a thorough examination of trends and influences in television drama, conducted with an eye to exposing myths... Caughie's consideration of teh well-trodden paths of aesthetic theory both surprises nad enlightens.
