working title:
Gazing at the British Empire: Critical Encounters With Michael Curtiz's The Charge of the Light Brigade
The San Diego State University Press is commissioning a collection of essays on Michael Curtiz's The Charge of the Light Brigade 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. A note from an homage to the film written by George A. Lazarou to be included in the volume reads as follows: "The Charge of the Light Brigade (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 information on the film is available at http://us.imdb.com/Title?0027438

"The madness in which the work of art is engulfed is the space of our work, it is the endless path to fulfillment, it is our mixed vocation of apostle and exegete."
