"This book is an authoritative reference on the field of early cinema.It includes work by established and up-and-coming scholars that offers the cutting-edge research and original perspectives. Its 30 chapters are a must-have reference for those working in field." (Wonderpedia, 19 September 2013) "It goes without saying that it deserves to be on the library shelves of institutions where the subject forms part of the academic curriculum." (Reference Reviews, 1 June 2013) "One of the strengths of this substantial 'companion' is that it raises the issue of definition in a variety of provocative ways." (Sight & Sound, 1 February 2013) "The essays are well researched and display a refreshing diversity of approaches. Even as the discipline of cinema and media studies turns to newer media, early cinema continues to posses a certain allure." (Nineteenth Century Theatre and Film, Summer 2013)
