Heritage Film Audiences is the first empirically-based study on the audience of the British phenomenon that is the period drama. Exploring the attitudes and habits of this audience, the book breaks new ground in both scholarship of contemporary period films and in film-audience studies. The books contrasts two opposite sections of late-1990s UK audiences, offering illuminating and unpredicted results.
