Victoria's Empire [VHS]
List Price: |
DescriptionDuring the first half of the 19th century Great Britain underwent an extraordinary transformation. The Industrial Revolution turned farm laborers into factory workers, goods manufactured in England were sold around the world, and successive governments struggled to reconcile the rapid growth of national wealth and prestige with terrible social inequality. In 1837, the 18-year-old Queen Victoria was crowned, and this epic documentary explores the vital role she played in the events of that tumultuous century. The first episode focuses on the consequences of the Industrial Revolution, from the engineering feats of Isembard Kingdom Brunel to the horrors of the Irish famine. Victoria's beloved husband, Albert, emerges as a powerful force, and his belief in expansion through trade set the agenda for the early years of Victoria's reign. The second episode, "Passage to India," examines the growth of British power in India and the consequences of the new imperialist mood. The final two episodes deal with the problems of imperialism and the eventual decline of British power. After the death of Albert the queen was drawn into an ideological struggle between Disraeli and Gladstone, two prime ministers with opposite views. Disraeli was an expansionist, while Gladstone found imperialism repugnant. Their battleground was to be Africa, where the ambitious Cecil Rhodes would draw the Britain into the Boer War to further his own dreams of empire. Queen Victoria's Empire conveys the complex social and political events in the 19th-century British Empire with admirable clarity. Any project with such a massive scope can only touch on many events, but this documentary offers a fascinating introduction to a remarkable historical period. --Simon Leake |

The Jewel in the Crown (25th Anniversary Edition)
List Price: |
DescriptionThe visually stunning, emotionally stirring drama of love, betrayal, honor and deception, set against the final decades of British rule in India, is available in a deluxe four-disc collector's edition. Peggy Ashcroft, Tim Pigott-Smith, Geraldine James, and Charles Dance star; adapted from Paul Scott's "Raj Quartet." 12 1/2 hrs. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital stereo. The Jewel in the Crown, adapted from Paul Scott's Raj Quartet novels, tells the story of the final years before India gained independence in 1947. It is rare for a filmed adaptation to successfully preserve the richness and complexity of a great novel, but this epic miniseries succeeds both as personal drama and historical panorama. In 1942 Daphne Manners, a naive young woman newly arrived in the town of Mayapore, befriends Hari Kumar, an Indian-born journalist who has spent most of his life in England. With his dark skin and educated English accent, Hari feels like an outsider wherever he goes, but Daphne understands his plight and they become romantically involved. Their developing relationship is jealously observed by local police chief Ronald Merrick, a man haunted by his own demons. When the lovers are attacked in the gardens of the ruined Bibighar palace and Daphne is raped, Merrick seizes his opportunity, pins the crime on Hari, and has the young man jailed. Distraught, Daphne flees to her aunt's home in Kashmir, where she dies giving birth to a half-caste child. The focus then shifts to Sarah Layton, a young Englishwoman who becomes fascinated by the story of Daphne and Hari, and who will have her own encounter with Ronald Merrick. The events in the Bibighar gardens become a symbol of the violent struggle for Indian independence, and other symbols--Daphne's bicycle, a length of butterfly lace, a picture of Queen Victoria on an Indian throne--appear and reappear, linking people and events. This helps to give coherence to the plot even as it spans five years and expands to include many characters whose lives intersect in complex and unexpected ways. With a huge cast and breathtaking location photography, The Jewel in the Crown was an enormous undertaking when it was made in the early 1980s. Twenty years later it has lost none of its power, and it remains one of the best films ever made for television. --Simon Leake Features
