- Totalling more than 100,000 words, this book is the culmination of eight years’ research. Ambitious and interdisciplinary in scope, it offers fresh, revisionary analyses of Hollywood historical films released over thirty-five years (1978-2013), positioning them within a network of discourses pertaining to US politics, race, gender, sexuality, class, war, the counterculture and collective memory. The book focuses in detail on screenwriters and required several in-person archival visits (over a period of 6 years) to libraries in Los Angeles, New York and London in order to consult draft screenplays and numerous correspondences, treatments, notes and other primary documents.
