A work of social and film history, The British Horseracing Film demonstrates how the so-called “sport of kings” functions as an accessible institutional structure through which to explore cinematic discussions about the British nation—but also, and equally, national approaches to British cinema.

Recensioner i media

This is a book written with real enthusiasm. It is accessible, detailed, consistently insightful and nuanced. It is particularly strong on the ways in which social class representations articulated with racing and local and national levels of British identity, but there is some sensible recognition of the ways in which women were portrayed. The complexities of gambling’s relationship with racing are all brought out well. Enthusiasts of sport, film, media and culture will learn much from this book.” (Mike Huggins, Sport in History, March 18, 2020)“Comprehensive, well written and nicely illustrated, this book is a valuable addition to the scholarly literature on British cinema.” (Jeffrey Richards, Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television, November 27, 2019)
