Of Empire and the City: Remapping Early British Cinema

This book explores the cinematic representation of the city in British film 1895-1914, from London to Delhi. The author argues that the films are not only an invaluable record of these cities but also that the spatial organization of these urban areas, and the cinematic representations of them, were shaped by the ideology of imperialism.
