By Mia E. M. Treacey, 2016

Fascinating, brilliant, Screened History

Treacey not only provides a much-needed and fascinating account of how for more than a century historians and critics have thought about the problems and possibilities of history in the visual media, she also makes a brilliant argument in favor of pulling together and reconceptualizing this sprawling, interdisciplinary area of study under the single title of Screened History.

A vital contribution – 5.0 out of 5 stars

A rich and illuminating study, Reframing the Past is a vital contribution to the study of historical representation in film. In vivid, compelling prose, Mia Treacey details the long running debate about film as a form of historical thinking, and fills in the forgotten chapters of this fundamentally important story. An original and field-defining work.
