Description

Cinema, Literature & Society examines the cultural tensions between film and literature during Britain's interwar period, exploring how cinema and literary works competed for cultural dominance. This Routledge Library Edition investigates the struggle between mass and elite culture that preoccupied writers including Aldous Huxley, T.S. Eliot and the Leavises, whilst analysing how films such as Sing As We Go, Proud Valley and The Stars Look Down shaped national consciousness. The book explores the broader ideological conflict between dominant and oppositional cultural forces within Britain, and examines the influence of American values on British cinema and literature during this pivotal era. Essential for scholars and students of film history, cultural studies and twentieth-century British literature, this edition provides critical insight into how cinema emerged as a powerful cultural force that challenged traditional literary hierarchies and redefined British cultural identity.

This Routledge Library Edition explores how writers like Aldous Huxley, T.S. Eliot and the Leavises responded to the rise of mass cinema culture.

The study examines the cultural divide between British and American values, revealing tensions within Britain's dominant and oppositional cultural elements during the interwar years.
