About this book

This volume brings together scholars from across Europe to critically examine TV history programming in a period of political, economic and cultural change. They look at links between programming and national identity, consider the representation of minorities, and explore a range of televisual genres and techniques.

Reviews

'This valuable collection explores the resurgence of history in televisual form in the latter part of the 20th century...the chapters provide not only a range of evidence and analysis, but also some powerful areas of ongoing discussion for historians, broadcasters and producers.' -Justin Champion, Royal Holloway, University of London, Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television

'...provides a good sense of the serious work being done on historical presentation across the Continent.' - Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly
