The Europe of 1500–1815 on Film and Television

The geographic scope of this work is all of Europe, European Russia, Great Britain, Ireland, Iceland, the Mediterranean Islands such as Sicily and Corsica, the Caucasus area north of Turkey, including territory now in the new republics of Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan, and the Balkans and Greece.
There are entries for feature films, shorts, animation, silents, television series and films, miniseries, epics, war films, dramas, literary adaptations, comedies, horrors, mysteries, musical comedies, and operettas. Entries provide filmographic data, cast and credits, a brief synopsis, commentary, and references to the Variety review and one other filmographic source. Most of the titles were produced in Europe or Hollywood, but a few were made in such countries as Japan, Canada, Australia, Mexico, and Argentina. Documentaries are not included. Subject (places, periods, events, and historical figures) and name indexes allow for easy reference.
