Box Office Archaeology

edited by Julie M. Schablitsky

I would be surprised if there is anyone reading this who hasn't at some stage wandered out of the cinema, wide-eyed in disbelief ranting to anyone who will listen about the outrageous liberties being taken onscreen with the past. In this book a team of archaeologists look at some of Hollywood's stock genres and ask what truth there are in them and how this impacts on those working in those fields. Among the featured genres are Vikings, mummies, pirates, cowboys and Indians and gangsters. 256p b/w illus (Left Coast Press 2007)
