Description de l'ouvrage:
Exploring British society’s response to cinematic espionage
The chapters of this book explore how British society responded to cinematic and film representations of espionage from the early twentieth century to the present day. Interrogating themes like fear of fifth columns to representation of gender, nation, space and nostalgia, these essays provide commentary on how British culture has depicted this apparently murky underworld.
Key Features
• Re-ignites ongoing debates about the relationship between British culture and espionage
• Considers issues of gender, politics, memory, and culture
• Presents fresh readings of cinematic espionage
