Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Television Drama offers an account of British television drama from its origins in live studio drama in the prewar and immediate postwar years, through the Golden Age of the single play in the 1960s and 1970s, to its convergence with an emerging British art cinema in the 1990s. It relates the development of television drama to movements which were going on within the culture. In particular, it is concerned with a series of arguments and debates aboutpolitics and form which centred around issues of immediacy and naturalism, realism and modernism in public culture. The book addresses contemporary television in the form of the television film and the classicserial, and raises new questions about such issues as adaptation and acting. The importance of the book lies in its attempt to place television drama at the centre of late twentieth-century British culture and to relate the criticism of television drama to a wider history of aesthetic debates and arguments. Offers an account of British television drama from its origins in live drama in the 1930s and 1940s, through the Golden Age of the 1960s and 1970s with writers like David Mercer and Dennis Potter and directors like Ken Loach, and its convergence with a British art cinema in the 1990s in films like "My Beautiful Laundrette".
