Synopsis

A COMPANION TO EARLY CINEMA

"This collection of essays by early cinema scholars from Europe and North America offers manifold perspectives on early cinema fiction which perfectly reflect the state of international research."

- Martin Loiperdinger, Universitaet Trier

"A fabulous selection of first-rate articles!"

- Rick Altman, University of Iowa

"One of the most challenging books in recent film studies: in it, early cinema is both a historical object and a contemporary presence. As in a great novel, we can retrace the adventures of the past - the films, styles, discourses, and receptions that made cinema the breakthrough reality it was in its first decades. But we can also come to appreciate how much of this reality is still present in our digital world."

- Francesco Casetti, Yale University

A Companion to Early Cinema is an authoritative reference on the field of early cinema.

Including work by both established and up-and-coming scholars in early cinema, film theory, and film history, this will be the definitive volume on early cinema history for years to come and a must-have reference for all those working in the field.
