Cover of Andrew Higson: Dissolving Views (PDF)

British cinema has been far richer and more diverse than is generally recognized, as this collection of key writings on British film culture from the conversion to sound in the late 1920s to the 1990s testifies. Dissolving Views brings together a number of important and influential essays and the light they throw on 70 or so years of British cinema history makes this volume a vital, provocative and highly informative collection.
