History on Film/Film on History has established itself as a classic
treatise on the historical film and its role in bringing the past to
life. In the fourth edition of this widely acclaimed text, Robert A.
Rosenstone argues that to leave history films out of the discussion of
the meaning of the past is to ignore a major means of understanding
historical events. This book examines what history films convey about
the past and how they convey it, demonstrating the need to learn how
to read and understand this new visual world and integrating detailed
analysis of films such as Schindler’s List, Glory, October, and
Reds. Advocating for the dramatic feature as a legitimate way of doing
history, this edition includes a new Preface and a new chapter that
focuses on films produced in Latin America, Africa, the Middle East,
India, and East Asia. Examining the codes and conventions of how these
films tell us about the past and providing guidance on how to
effectively analyse films as historical interpretations, this book is
an essential introduction to the field for students of history and
film.
