Beskrivning
A wide-ranging introduction to film history, this anthology covers the history of film from 1895 to the present day. The book is arranged chronologically, and each chapter contains an introduction by the editors on the key developments within the period, followed by a classic piece of historical research about that period. Various types of film history are undertaken in the articles, so that students can become familiar with different types of film historical research. For example, topics include the history of audiences; exhibition; marketing; censorship; aesthetic history; political history; and historical reception studies. The book is therefore designed to provide students with a narrative history spine while simultaneously introducing them to different approaches to the study and research of film history. Concentrating on the plurality of the ‘historical turn’ in film studies, this book demonstrates that film history is, and should be, about more than simply key films, directors and movements.Key features*Contains a preface that explains the structure and organisation of the book*Chapter introductions provide a chronological sense of international developments*Includes key articles of film history that illustrate differences in methodological approach, and which are devoted both to America and to a wide range of non-American contexts

Recensioner i media

This is a substantial book which provides a comprehensive and concise history of film from the late 19th century to the present day. The book has a very user-friendly structure [and] the authors have managed successfully to combine two types of film text book: an all-embracing and succinct history book and an excellent collection of essays which provide a chronological analysis of the development of cinema... the book is an excellent general history for undergraduate film and media students and would also be very useful for those studying popular culture and cultural history.
