Klappentext zu „English Filming, English Writing “
Jefferson Hunter examines English films and television dramas as theyrelate to English culture in the 20th century. He traces themes such as theinfluence of U.S. crime drama on English film, and film adaptations of literaryworks as they appear in screen work from the 1930s to the present. A Canterbury Taleand the documentary Listen to Britain are analyzed in the context of villagepageants and other wartime explorations of Englishness at risk. English crime dramasare set against the writings of George Orwell, while a famous line from Noel Cowardleads to a discussion of music and image in works like Brief Encounter and Look Backin Anger. Screen adaptation is also broached in analyses of the 1985 BBC version ofDickens's Bleak House and Merchant-Ivory's The Remains of the Day.

Rezension zu „English Filming, English Writing “
"Hunter draws attention to some works that have received little critical attention and traces the cultural influences and inflections that make them work... This book provides a fascinating contribution to studies of British cinema but also opens out into much broader concerns regarding national cultures." Jim Leach, Brock University "Beautifully written ... surprising and persuasive ... but never in the sort of language that might deter the non-specialist." Brian McFarlane, Monash University "A substantive, seductive, charming piece of work, this book is a paradigm of good sense and clarityoneither pedantic nor trendy... Highly recommended." oChoice, November 2010
