Description
One of the most powerful forces in world culture, American cinema has a long and complex history that stretches through more than a century.
This history not only includes a legacy of hundreds of important films but also the evolution of the film industry itself, which is in many ways a microcosm of the history of American society as a whole. The Historical Dictionary of American Cinema provides broad coverage of the people, films, companies, techniques, themes, and genres that have made American cinema such a vital part of world cinema.
This is done through a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and over 500 cross-referenced dictionary entries.
This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about the history of American Cinema.
