British Cinema and Middlebrow Culture in the Interwar Years
ISBN: 9780859897976 / Angielski / Twarda / 250 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Through a fresh analysis of the relationship between the British film industry and such culture industries as radio, music recording, publishing, and early television, Lawrence Napper reevaluates the history of British cinema and culture between 1928 and 1939.

Through a fresh analysis of the relationship between the British film industry and such culture industries as radio, music recording, publishing, a... |
