From the classic The Private Life of Henry
VIII
to more recent
landmarks such as Elizabeth, the historical feature film has been a
major genre of British national cinema. Historical films have won
both popular and critical success and have scored at the box
office over many decades. Films such as Henry V, Scott of the
Antarctic, Zulu and Chariots of Fire represent some of the greatest
achievements of British cinema, acclaimed for bringing inspiring
stories of Britain s past to life. At the same time they have
provoked controversy for taking liberties with the past, with the
desire to provide narrative drama and epic spectacle taking
precedence over strict adherence to historical accuracy.
In this ground-breaking new study of the genre, James Chapman
explores the ways in which the historical film has functioned as a
vehicle for the representation of British national identity. Through
a series of case studies, Chapman examines the production and
reception histories of key films, looking closely at the way they
have tackled themes including class, gender, ethnicity, imperialism
and militarism. The historical film, argues Chapman, acts as a
vehicle for exploring changes in British society, mediating the past
in response to the ideological and cultural circumstances of the
present.
Past and Present will be essential reading for students and teachers
in film studies and history alike, and for all those interested in the
social significance and cultural value of British cinema.
James Chapman is Senior Lecturer in Film and Television History at

War: Cinema, State and Propaganda,
