New Writings: British Masculinity in Transatlantic Cinema: Ronald Colman and Basil Rathbone

Dr Carolyn Owen-King will be in conversation with Professor Tamar Jeffers McDonald about her book British Masculinity in Transatlantic Cinema: Ronald Colman and Basil Rathbone (Bloomsbury). In this new and original study, Carolyn Owen-King suggests that transatlantic films made during cinema’s most rigid period of censorship possess a hidden subtext – and a deep-seated queerness – which might be more evident, and appealing, to a modern audience. Join us for a conversation – enlivened with clips and images from screen rarities – that opens up this period of cinema history.
