ISBN: 9781780762937 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 456 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Queen Victoria and her family loved the pantomime, so did her subjects of all classes.
The English Pantomime is one of the most popular, least analysed of all theatrical forms. It's been the festive mainstay of the English stage since the eighteenth century, and it has survived by its ability to evolve. This continual evolution is traced by Jeffrey Richards in the first history of panto through its 'Golden Age' in Victorian England. He explores the spectacle, the slapstick, and the talent for subversion that nineteenth-century pantomime had - and still has in different ways. His story,...

The Popes and the Papacy in the Early Middle Ages (Routledge Revivals): 476-752
ISBN: 9781138777842 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 422 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. There has been a tendency to the view the history of the early medieval papacy predominantly in ideological terms, which has resulted in the over-exaggeration of the idea of the papal monarchy. In this study, first published in 1979, Jeffrey Richards questions this view, arguing that whilst the papacy's power and responsibility grew during the period under discussion, it did so by a series of historical accidents rather than a coherent radical design.

Hollywood's Ancient Worlds
ISBN: 9781847250070 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Jeffrey Richards examines the cultural, social, economic and technological circumstances that dictated the rise and decline of each successive cycle of Ancient World epics, from the silent film era, to the "golden age" of the 1950s, right up to the present day (Gladiator, 300, Rome). Analysis reveals that historical films are always as much about the time in which they are made as they are about the time in which they are set. The ancient world is often used to deliver messages to the contemporary audience about the present: hostility to totalitarian regimes both...

China and the Chinese in Popular Film: From Fu Manchu to Charlie Chan
ISBN: 9781784537203 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. There's a folk memory of China in which numberless yellow hordes pour out of the 'mysterious East' to overwhelm the vulnerable West, accompanied by a stereotype of the Chinese as cruel, cunning and depraved. Hollywood films played their part in perpetuating these myths and stereotypes that constituted 'The Yellow Peril'. Jeffrey Richards examines in detail how and why they did it. He shows how the negative image was embodied in recurrent cinematic depictions of opium dens, tong wars, sadistic dragon ladies and corrupt warlords and how, in the 1930s and 1940s, a countervailing positive image...
