Spectacle is not often considered to be a significant part of the style of ‘classical’ cinema. Indeed, some of the most influential accounts of cinematic classicism define it virtually by the supposed absence of spectacle. Spectacle in ‘Classical’ Cinemas: Musicality and Historicity in the 1930s brings a fresh perspective on the role of the spectacular in classical sound cinema by focusing on one decade of cinema (the 1930s), in two ‘modes’ of filmmaking (musical and historical films), and in two national cinemas (the US and France). This not only brings to light the special rhetorical and affective possibilities offered by spectacular images but refines our understanding of what ‘classical’ cinema is and was.

This book examines the role of direct address within fiction cinema. Film characters are not supposed to look at the camera, so what happens when they do acknowledge our presence as spectators? It is often assumed that this is incompatible with the voyeurism and the presence - absence that defines the cinema experience and disrupts our involvement in the fiction. This book revaluates these and other fundamental assumptions about the medium by demonstrating that direct address is compatible with - and is in some cases a convention of - various traditions of filmmaking. Breaking the Fourth Wall is the first book to provide a broad understanding of the role of direct address within fiction cinema. Chapters on the role of direct address in Hollywood comedies and musicals, as well as in some 'alternative' film practices, are accompanied by extended readings of individual films in which the illusion of eye contact between spectator and character offers a rich metaphor for the problems of vision (insight, foresight, other kinds of perceptiveness) that are so often the currency of movie narratives. In examining direct address, it returns the reader to fundamental and foundational debates concerning how cinema has been defined since the early part of the 20th century, making it an invaluable resource for students and researchers in Film Studies.

About the book 'What a peculiar and wonderful novel Strange Air is . . . A true page-turner, whose ultimate outcome is as unpredictable as a blindfolded interchange at Earl's Court.' (Matt Brown, Londonist) It is the mid-19th century, and London is crying out for a cure to the congestion on its streets. Knowing that some kind of underground railway will provide the solution, civil engineer Thomas Webster Rammell fights against the odds to realise his dream of air-powered 'pneumatic' trains - so saving his fellow citizens from the unimaginable horrors of subterranean steam. Meanwhile, in present-day London, ex-tube driver Eric walks amid the ruins of the old Crystal Palace. It's a strange, ghostly place, and gets stranger still when he is attacked by a vengeful skeleton, lurking in a buried Victorian railway carriage. Inspired by two true stories, Strange Air interweaves the irresistible tale of one of the Victorians' most fantastic inventions with the fate of the Crystal Palace in South London. An exhilarating blend of railway history and suburban fairytale, the novel reveals how close one man came to changing the history of London's public transport - and exposes the truth behind the fiery demise of the once-mighty 'people's Palace'. Essential reading for anyone fascinated by the history of the Crystal Palace - and for fans of mind-boggling Victorian railway history . . . The world's first Airpunk novel Strange Air dates back to 2008, when Tom Brown went for a walk with his girlfriend in Crystal Palace Park. 'I take it you know about the skeletons, ' she said. 'Buried in a tunnel. Trapped in a Victorian railway carriage.' 'What' he exclaimed. 'Oh yes, ' she said casually. 'People have seen them, apparently.' Tom dashed home and went straight on the internet. People had indeed seen the skeletons - the rumours were true - and it was all tied up with a bizarre 'pneumatic railway' trial that took place in the grounds of the Crystal Palace in 1864. A railway powered by air? In Crystal Palace? It sounded like the stuff of fiction, so Tom went looking for a book about it. A Steampunk kind of thing. Something rich in detail, atmosphere and imagination, but with a solid base of historical accuracy. Alas, he couldn't find the book he wanted - so he had to write it himself. The result is the world's first Airpunk novel: a macabre horror-comedy which chronicles a century-and-a-half of Crystal Palace Park history, while simultaneously hurtling down a little-explored siding of Victorian railway history. Effortlessly fusing meticulous research with gold-standard urban myth, Strange Air is a tale of grand ideas in the grandest of cities. From the book 'I heaved in a gasp of horror and astonishment. For what I was looking at was no animal; it was no living thing at all. The whiteness was the white of bone, and the bone belonged to a human hand: a skeleton's hand, glowing in the mist above a slender wrist, all of a piece, functioning together, yet with nothing between each bone. No ligaments, no tendons, no muscle: just air.'

About the book 'A deliciously playful science-fiction satire' (Around the Globe magazine) Hollywood visionary Joe Seabright seems to have it all: fame, wealth, his own city . . . Hell, he's even pals with the president. It's all thanks to The Solix Chronicles Joe's world-conquering, box office-pulverising science-fiction saga. But despite everything, Joe is haunted by failure. For what he wants more than anything is to win a 'Best Picture' Oscar. And he doesn't have one. Worse still, he only has one more movie to make before his sci-fi saga is complete: one last chance to achieve his lifelong dream. Joe's problem is simple: his writing stinks. The dialogue in his movies is as wooden as the empty shelf in his office, specially reserved for his long-awaited golden statuette. If he's ever going to win an Oscar, he desperately needs someone to polish his butt-clenchingly bad screenplays - and, Joe being Joe, there's only one man up to the job: William Shakespeare. So it is, thanks to a miraculous feat of genetic enhancement, Joe inspires himself with the genius of the great Bard of Avon. Feeling the Oscar within his clasp at last, he sits down at his computer and prepares to write the greatest screenplay ever created. Meanwhile, in London, England, Shakespeare authorship boffin Wendy Preston leads her jolly band of sceptics in their annual conference. Fuelled by wine and cheese, Wendy and her cohorts resume hostilities over the question of who really wrote those wonderful plays, little guessing that their lives are about to be turned upside down by a megalomaniacal interloper from across the pond . . . A genre-bending Bard-buster Tom Brown's two teenage obsessions were Shakespeare and Star Wars. To this day he remains uncertain whether Hamlet or The Empire Strikes Back is mankind's greatest artistic achievement. In the 2000s, he worked at Shakespeare's Globe under the stewardship of famous anti-Stratfordian Mark Rylance, becoming fascinated by the passion associated with discussion of 'Shakespeare's' true identity. At the same time, the Star Wars prequels were in cinemas, cheerfully wrecking a whole childhood's happy memories. One happy day, the two obsessions fused. The result is a frenetic and often hilarious transatlantic adventure, full of big questions and big egos. Along the way we meet a brilliant, beautiful geneticist, a spooky collector of great artists' DNA, and an embattled mathematician, flailing for a numerical grasp of human artistry. Joyfully melding the worlds of Shakespeare, science-fiction and space opera, So Long, Shakespeare is an exuberant and warm-hearted exploration of everything that makes us care about great art, and the geniuses who create it. From the book 'Joe shivered. Even though all he was looking at was plain plastic containing an anonymous liquid, there was something ghostly about the overtones. Here was Shakespeare: not literally, but equally not something inanimate like a skull or a hair. This was altogether more spiritual, more profound: Shakespeare's essence, the genetic coding that had programmed the greatest writer who ever lived.'

What happens when fictional characters acknowledge our 'presence' as film spectators? By virtue of its eccentricity and surprising frequency as a filmic device, direct address enables us to ask some fundamental questions of film theory, history and criticism and tackle, head-on, assumptions about the cinema as a medium. Brown provides a broad understanding of the role of direct address within fiction cinema, with focused analysis of its role in certain strands of avant-garde or experimental cinema, on the one hand, and popular genre traditions (musicals and comedies) on the other.

Symptoms: the initial signs of a problem. Diagnosis: analysis of the problem. Treatment: suggested solutions. Henry McLeish, former First Minister of Scotland and Tom Brown, one of Scotland's leading political commentators, are joined by eminent psychologist Anne Ellis as they follow on from their politically provocative Scotland: the Road Divides by putting Scotland on the therapist's couch. They assess what in our past has led to a present nation that is such a strange clamjamfry. Light and dark, brash but with a constant chip on its shoulder, Scotland's Jekyll and Hyde nature is shown to have had led to serious social and political problems including anti-social behaviour, and borderline or real poverty. The first part of the book asks us 'tae see ourselves as ithers see us' and the remainder deals with how Scotland should see itself. It asks the difficult question: Scotland - who are we? We ourselves are typical Scots, conscious that we have our fair share of the flaws examined in this book. Recognising our failings is the first step... We warmly encourage readers - be they policymakers or otherwise - to engage in these issues. In this complex modern world there are no easy answers. But we have to keep asking the questions. - TOM BROWN and HENRY McLEISH
