Anotace

This book brings together the study of silent cinema and the study of British cinema, both of which have seen some of the most exciting developments in Film Studies in recent years. The result is a comprehensive survey of one of the most important periods of film history. Most of the acknowledged experts on this period are represented, joined by several new voices. Together they chart the development of cinema in Britain from its beginnings in the 1890s to the conversion to sound in the late 1920s. From these accounts the youthful British cinema emerges as far from innocent. On the contrary, it was a fascinatingly complex field of cultural and industrial practices. The book also includes guides to bibliographical and archival sources and an extensive bibliography. Topics covered include: ·The cinema of attractions in the early period ·The emergence of the narrative film ·The series and serials of the 1910s and 1920s ·The enormous range of actuality films ·The mainstream feature film of the late 1910s and 1920s ·The changing relationships between film and literature, theatre and visual culture ·The ways in which audiences engaged with films and the patterns of exhibition and reception ·The contribution of live music to the film experience ·British cinema's relations with American cinema and the Empire market ·The emergence of an intellectual film culture in the 1920s
