- Description
- Assesses the politics and cultural work of British wartime cinema, including assessment of Michael Powell's and Emeric Pressburger's "A Canterbury Tale" of 1944 as "one of the first 'heritage films'," one that capitalizes on the status of CT as the "sacred text of British cultural memory" and echoes the "Chaucerian vision of community."
