It sets out some of the compelling reasons why Meadows' work rewards close critical and theoretical attention.' Paul Dave, University of East London From his breakthrough short films in the early 1990s and feature debut TwentyFourSeven, through to the BAFTA-winning coming-of-age drama This Is England and its hit television spin-offs, director Shane Meadows has emerged as one of the most distinctive and influential voices in contemporary British cinema. Shane Meadows: Critical Essays is the first book on this widely admired filmmaker, and explores the full range of his work, from its origins in local no-budget DIY media to multiple award wins and international festival acclaim. Through a range of essays, it presents a comprehensive analysis of Shane Meadows' oeuvre to date, situating his work in the context of British cinema history as well as wider cultural changes from the '90s to now.
