Reviews
This is a lucidly written, necessary book, with several exceptionally insightful chapters, which will be useful to postgraduates and scholars concerned with Northern screen fictions. (Tom May, Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television, Vol. 39 (4), 2019) Mazierska begins the collection with what I consider the most rigorous survey of the canonical screen North written so far. It opens by defining the theoretical object of the North with which the collection is concerned. Dealing with a notoriously loose designation of place, Mazierska clearly establishes the North under examination as being the imagination of place: a set of images, stereotypes, myths. (Daniel Martin, Critical Studies in Television, Vol. 14 (4), September, 2019)
