working title
<italic>Gazing at the British Empire</italic>:<italic> Critical
Encounters With Michael Curtiz's </italic>The Charge of the Light
Brigade
The San Diego State University Press is commissioning a collection of
essays on Michael Curtiz's <italic>The Charge of the Light
Brigade</italic> for publication in 2001. It is particularly interested
in dynamic essays that highlight connections between the world of
Hollywood (Curtiz; Warner Brothers etc.), the world of literature
(Tennyson, British Literature and Empire), and/or the world at large
(in particular, we are interested in post-colonial and new historicist
treatments of this Hollywood classic). Brief biographical essays on
Curtiz and Tennyson with particular focus on their interest in the UK
and India are also solicited.
from an homage to the film by George A. Lazarou to be included in the
volume:
"The <italic>Charge of the Light Brigade</italic> (1936), as produced
by Warner Brothers, is a saga of British rule and heroics in India in
the 1850's, with a climax depicting an actual event of the Crimean War
immortalized in Alfred, Lord Tennyson's epic poem--the British cavalry
attack on Russian positions at the battle of Balaklava." More
