Writing a PhD on Spanish cinema Shelagh Rowan-Legg used our collection to write her PhD in Spanish cinema. Shelagh is a PhD student at King's College London, researching contemporary Spanish fantasy cinema. She is also a writer and film critic. Her research explores common threads that run through Spanish fantasy films; how have they been influenced by cinema from around the world, and what makes them uniquely Spanish? She used a wide range of materials from the British Library, in subjects ranging from history to psychoanalysis, feminist theory to architecture.
