Young And Innocent? : The Cinema in Britain, 1896-1930 Hardback
Edited by Andrew Higson
Part of the Exeter Studies in Film History series
Hardback
Description
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.
