Book Synopsis Ripping England! by : Roger Rawlings
Download or read book Ripping England! written by Roger Rawlings and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2017-12-04 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines an all too often neglected period of postwar British cinema and popular culture. Ripping England! investigates a fertile moment for British satire—the period between 1947 and 1953, which produced the films Passport to Pimlico, Kind Hearts and Coronets, and The Lavender Hill Mob, as well as the seminal radio program The Goon Show. Against the postwar background of fading empire, universal rationing, and the implementation of a welfare state, these satires laid the foundation for a new British cultural identity later fleshed out by the Angry Young Men, the Movement poets, the Social Realists, and those involved in the satire boom of the 1960s, which lives on even to this day. The peculiarity of these satires and the British identity they shaped is better understood when seen in relief against postwar cinematic cultures of Italy, France, and the United States. Roger Rawlings places postwar British film in the context of contemporaneous European national film movements and contrasts it with Hollywood’s comedies and satires of the same period. British satires of the late forties and early fifties held up a mirror to a nation that was in the throes of change, moving from a colonial empire to an inward-turning island culture. Ripping England! looks at the all too often neglected miracle of postwar British cinema and popular culture. Roger Rawlings teaches film studies at Palm Beach State College and is Director of Programming at YipTV.com. He cowrote and directed the feature film Neurotica (2004), was executive producer and cowrote the story for Losers Take All (2013), and has produced award-winning films in Ireland and New York.

This book was released on 2022-09-30 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: • The book demonstrates how a vernacular British performance form emerged as a hybrid of forms from Afro-American and minstrel, as well as French mime and Italian commedia dell’arte roots. • Theatre history is an essential part of theatre and drama courses across the UK and would be recommended reading. • There is no comparable book which makes critical analysis of British pierrot troupes and concert parties in existence – the only ones that do exist on the specific topic are written as reminiscence and anecdote.
