Reviews

<p>In what is usually called 'the heritage debate' - and which has involved many of us within film and cultural studies over a long period of time - we have all made endless suppositions about the audiences who watch the films about which we wrangle. A book which actually conducts a proper analysis of these audiences is long overdue. It is doubly pleasing that when this book appears, it should be written by one of the leading proponents within that debate, and written with all Claire Monk's rigorous scholarship, in her inimitable and elegant style.--Pamela Church Gibson, Reader in Cultural and Historical Studies, London College of Fashion, University of the Arts, London


<p>This series is tailor-made for modular approach to film studies.... An indispensable tool for both lecturers and students.--Paul Willemen, University of Ulster
